This is a funny thread. I own both consoles and I like both of them for different reasons. Just buy them both then there will be no need to choose or argue. I personally love Gears and hate Resistance. I tried the Killzone 2 demo, but didn't like it very much. I love Uncharted and can't wait for #2. God of War is the best video game franchise of all time, so you gotta get a PS3 for #3. You gotta remember that competition is good for us the consumer (console price drops anyone?). Also, most of the great games are on both consoles (Call of Duty) so for the most part we all win.

All of my friends either have a PS3 or they don't. The slim won't attract any of them to trade in their Xbox or old PS3. I'm a bit jealous that the PS3 slim will transmit Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD to your receiver, since I mainly use mine for Blu-ray. I prefer to play games on my 360 and watch movies on my PS3, but I'm very glad I have a PS3 because Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 will be here soon. It seems to me that people buy which ever system their friends have. They both work great for games, and there aren't really that many exclusives to sway one's decision. Although I would buy another 360 just to play Gears of War.

Hi, I have 2 HD dvd players,the 360 add on and a Toshiba HD-A2. I have a Samsung 56" DLP 1080i TV + 5.1 surround. I love my setup. I own 35+ HD DVD's and I absolutely love them. I have 6+ on the way. I also own hundreds of normal DVD's which I up convert with my HD-A2. It does a good job up-converting, but doesn't even come close to the quality of the HD's. HD is SO MUCH BETTER! Check out http://www.highdefdigest.com/ for accurate video and audio ratings onHD DVD's and Blu-Ray's.

I don't think that this "format war" is going to end. Xbox and Playstation 2 co-existed for years until Xbox 360 and PS3 came out. They, along with the wii are going to co-exist for a long time until something better comes out. That is why I think HD DVD and Blu-ray will co-exist. Both have a lot of support from many large companies, and neither is really "better" than the other. Until the movie studio companies decide on a format, they will continue to co-exist. From my research, more HD DVD's have "better" ratings on audio and video quality (according to ratings on highdefdigest which I have agreed with on every movie I own). The key is to decide which format has more of the movies that you want. I've wanted a PS3 since it came out (for the Blu-ray player. For gaming I would go with the 360 for sure). In the end, if you really want to enjoy HD movies, you need both formats. I'm sure I'll be joining the Blu-ray side soon. For the record, if I could buy a game on both formats I would choose Xbox. And if I could choose a movie on either format, I would choose HD DVD.
