$200 bucks for HD DVD, that's a bargain if you already own the Xbox360. Too bad it's only going to be limited to 1080i or 720P.

"Hear something? It’s the sound of Microsoft’s price advantage over the Playstation 3 crashing to the floor"

No way dude! At least with Xbox360 you have a choice. With this PS3 and its BD device you have to take the pricey (and useless to gaming) add-on. With XBX it's just an optional addon. What do you propose Msoft does? Not both including an add on HD DVD player? Or give it away free?

I think it's a fair price.

I think the XBox is going to pay the price for putting their system out fast and not using some of the latest technology. I would rather have one powerful PS3 than a comparable XBox with a bunch of add on components (that reminds me of the add on 5 1/4 disk drive that my Commodore64 had).

They can keep the HD DVD player. It's not even worth 2 bills if I can't get the movies I want on it.

And Brando is right... if a next gen DVD player is your bag then there goes the price advantage for the Xbox360
