It all depends on who your favorite studio is.... some studios have signed deals solely with one or the other. For a while the only way to be satisfied is going to be own both... last weeks releases Blu-ray: 300 and HD DVD: Hot Fuzz

Ps3 play blu-ray. Sony also owns a huge collection of movies.

Xbox 360 can play hd-dvd with an add on drive.

Nope... work on Boylston/Mass Ave but sometimes cruise through at lunch if I need something at Best Buy... I was there looking at DVD players with a buddy who's wife works for Bruner/Cott so we took a stroll through. It's an awesome space.

I have congratulated Mike on that before. It's awesome isn't it? The reception desk at the Landmark building. I used to see a client in there 3 or 4 times a week.

It's expensive but they have devices that play both formats. I wish one format would win out but I don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon.
