To go back a little bit allow me to interject this thought.
I can go down to EBX or whatever game store is available and purchase a refurb XBX360 for about $250-350 which depends on which model I want. The PS3 on the other hand does not leave this option open which may have an effect on the overall promotability (is that even a word?) of the format.
Personally I see the HD making headway easier than the Blu-Ray format when talking consoles because of the fact that suddenly an HD addon isn't so out of line in cost. Add to that the fact that you can now pick up the XBX HD player for less than $150 and also that the XBX integrates easily into your computers files for a full entertainment integration solution with one purchase regardless of which model you go with.
