PS3=Blue Ray
PS3 can hook up through HDMI or HDTV...I'm lost, I thought they could work together?...

Sorry, I'm a bit tipsy, then wouldn't that make Blue Ray better b/c it works hand in hand?

I'd go with Blue Ray, because you can play them on PS3. That way, you could play games and watch movies on 1 player.

I'd say Blu-ray:

#1
Xbox 360 games are on DVDs and not HD-DVDs. Maybe they will in the future, but then you'll have to pay $200 for the 360 external drive.
PS3 games are on Blu-Rays.

#2
HD-DVDs can hold 15GB and 30GB if dual-layer.
Blu-rays can hold 25GB and 50GB if dual-layer. 67% more.

#3
HD-DVD sounds too long, as the HD seems tacked on. Although people might be more familiar with the "DVD" in the name.
Blu-ray sounds cooler and more "next-gen", don't ya think?

However, there are players currently out that can play both HD-DVDs and Blu-rays; a technology which may diffuse the media war. Although one will still probably beat the other in sales.

The Blu-Ray player is already included in the PS3 price though and is probably just as expensive as the HD-DVD player.

As for the storage capacity...games probably won't even take up that much memory for a LONG time, if ever.

I agree with the name though, Blu-Ray sounds much better than HD-DVD...what a rubbish name.

But overall, I think Blu-Ray is better: higher storage capacity and data transfer rate.

The Blue Ray is going to be a much cleaner and larger quality of info that will be held on them. That and of course the PS3 is a awesome system that comes with it already not needing to pick up extra parts like for the xbox360

I'd stick with blue Ray. I've seen the extra $200 HD-DVD For the Xbox360. Too me it's not worth it because ps3 owns. (even though we have both, no problems with the ps3 ever)

I think everyone mutually agrees. Blu-ray is the future!
