haha-

I had an arguement with my old boss this time last year telling her that HD DVD was a sinking ship. She had two xbox 360s and another HD DVD player rigged up in her house and bought almost every HD-DVD movie that came out.

LOL

Most of my friends were like that too. I told them Blu-Ray would win solely because Sony has such a foothold in the world of Media but they didn't believe me.

They were wrong about the Wii to.

My XBOX 360 hasn't given me any problems and while I also have a PS3 I haven't been using it since there aren't too many games on it that interest me but that'll soon change when the good stuff starts rolling in. I also have a Blu-Ray player now... of course the newer discs may not be backward compatible if the new revision requires some new mechanics.

Well they'll all be compatible with your ps3.

The whole "HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray" thing about HD-DVD having higher quality was over a Codec Blu-Ray was using initially but they changed that.

The only changes you'll see now are in firmware updates that add features to the Blu-Ray format. Since your ps3 is firmware upgradeable your in the clear

In short: ANY Blu-Ray disc will play on ANY system/player. The question is does the system/player support all the features.

That's gonna be the the problem but I'm betting that the features won't be worth it.

The new features I believe are for the DVD collectors. Like PiP (Picture in Picture) and Internet Enabled.

I like to use my DVDs to watch movies, I don't usually touch the extras
