hdvd death wouldnt affect the xbox 360 at all, its just an addon.360 is leading the like lounge tv thing market in terms of the xbox live market place downloadable movies things.

so either your a ps3 fanboy, or you are a jealous pc user who spent thousands on a new pc to find out theres only about 3 games that have been released in the last 2 years.

yeah, stat, he conveniently placed his specs in his sig so everyone could see them. The least you could do is take notice of his awesomeness...

Me and my roommate have yet to play an HD DVD through his xbox.

of course it will affect the 360! its main competition is an out of the box blu-ray player! for somebody looking to buy a next gen console KNOWING blu-ray will win the format war, that is a HUGE advantage to ps3 sales, especially until the price of stand-alone blu-ray players come down

Nyck posted an article that speculates Microsoft will soon create a Blu Ray xbox 360.
If XBOX continues dominating PS3 as it has, what will happen once the Blu Ray argument for the PS3 is gone?

probably a good move by microsoft, i didnt hear that.

If in fact microsoft makes a blu-ray console (or an add on) for their 360, I'd imagine it will not be cheap, making the prices between the ps3 and xbox more similar. I guess I dont know the main reasons xbox has been dominating, but I'd guess its mostly price and games available.

who knows, but as a consumer who will probably be purchasing one of them in the next year and knowing blu-ray will be the standard, I think there are alot of reasons to go with sony now.
