Posts: 2,442 | you keep only comparing the ps3 to the 360 ADDON when you talk blueray vs hddvd. find the numbers for the stand alone units and add them in to be fair. Who cares how many ps3s have been sold? Most ps3 owners DONT HAVE A NEED FOR IT. The movie companies know this, and i doubt they are putting as much stock into the ps3's use as a player as you are at the moment. If the purchaser doesnt have a hdtv, they are not going to buy $40 blueray movies. Assume the % for the ps3 users is the same for the % of 360 owners who bought the addon.. In that case, the 360 wins hands down.. hell, double it for the ps3, and HDDVD still wins. Most people did not buy a ps3 for the blueray capabilities to play movies, so the point is mute. Sony owns multiple movie studios, thats why their movies are comming out faster. They dont have to wait for the rights to certain movies that they own, unlike the HDDVD.
HDDVD is cheaper to buy, better quality movies so far, and the movies are cheaper to buy. I dont put alot of stock in Blueray outside of the PS3. I think you are looking at another UMD style device in the end.
What is the numbers on stand alone units sold for both? that is a much better indicator.
