One of the major hollywood labels just switched to BluRay two weeks ago. That means almost all the major labels are on BluRay so they will have the best content, and should probably eventually win.

If BluRay wins, I have to think Microsoft will sell an add-on BluRay drive (since their drive is an add-on, not built into the system). Of course this would cost more than a PS3, but it's just my hunch.

I didn't let this be the deciding factor for me. I just got a 360 because of the better games and it's what all of my friends have (so I can play them online).

If you like games more than movies, Xbox.

If you just care about movies and only play the occasional game, PS3.

Problem simplified. That's all there really is to it. Xbox hinted at releasing a BR player in the future anyway, and they have enough money to do it.

Ha! Beat you to it. :p crazy

I love my 360. I've got it hooked up to my 50" plasma and it's so nice. I don't watch movies on it thought, just games.

A friend let me borrow Rainbow Six Las Vegas and COD4 last night. Very cool games.

eek I thought I had trouble playing assassin's creed on a 32" TV.

I agree about movies. When I do watch them, I watch them on a dedicated DVD player. I just like seperate components.

There is one thing that limites the HD DVD, size. Thats why Blu-Ray will win, more high quality picture in the future when a normal HD DVD will fall behind.

As far as gaming systems, I stick to my 360. The PS3, STILL has a small selection of games.
