like DRD said...just buy a PS3. It's less than $100 more for the entry model (go for the $499) version if you can. You not only get the gaming option but there are a lot of other things that it does that more than make it worth the money. Not only that...the build quality on those things is pretty remarkable.

If special features don't matter ... get the Sharp.

If they do, get the PS3.

I've never played games on my PS3. That's what my 360 is for.

Based on OrangePucks picture in his Son of a Bitch thread, I thought the xbox360 was for drying towels.

Eff those fire sales. I'll wait for Uni to put out Hot Fuzz and the Bourne series on Blu-ray with NEW encodes that take advantage of the 50gbs and not HD DVD's 30 Gigs.

I really doubt that Toshiba is going to come out and say "Well, we lost the format war, HD-DVD is dead".

What I think will happen is that Toshiba will not release a 4th generation HDDVD player, and will at some point, announce a series of Dual Format players. The high end will be based off of the XA-2, while there will be an A-35 based dual format format player.

XF-1 - will include a Reon HQV for upscaling. All audio formats bitstreamed and decoded. Will also have 7.1 analog outputs. BD 2.0 complaint. MSRP - $499 - 599

F-1 - Will not have the Reon nor the 7.1 analog outs. For true multi channel support, the advanced audio will be bitstreamed, but for the smaller bedrooms or guest room, there will be 2.0 analog output. BD 2.0 compliant. MSRP $349 ($299????).

Again, just one man's opinion.
