nobody even knows if blu-ray is going to be "the" standard yet...
HP, Dell, Sony, MGM, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Entertainment, The Walt Disney Co. and Twentieth Century Fox support Blu-ray.
Microsoft, Intel, Universal Studios and Warner Bros. Studios have endorsed HD-DVD.
Lets see... Dell, HP and Sony VS Microsoft and Intel... Oh wait what do Dell and HP depend upon? yeah intel and microsoft, if they want to swing thier weight around they will get thier way on the standard.

UPDATE Hp Considers dropping Blu-Ray

"We sat down with Microsoft to compare notes on the PC implementation of the various application layers," says Peterson. "Based on that discussion and technical reviews, we decided iHD is a must, if you will, for the PC implementation of next-generation optical discs."
The advantages to iHD, an XML-based format developed by Microsoft, Disney, and the DVD Forum, will more clearly benefit content producers more than consumers. For content producers, iHD will be easier to use for authoring and testing discs. For consumers, iHD will be integrated into Microsoft's Windows Vista OS, which will make playing an iHD-based disc easier than playing a disc using a different platform that would require installing third-party software.
-- So native support for HD-DVD in next version of windows...

"I have to agree. I'm sure you all remember the issues with PS2 launch. Many launch day consoles have had issues in the past."
Seems like most people's are working fine though...

yeah was just goin to say, 360 doesnt have HD DVD until you edited. But by the looks, the gaming line up of ps3 will blow 360 out. even though from what ive read from other guys, theyre amazed with the 360.
meh, in the end we're all geeks.

I honestly don't see how any body can compare the 360 to the Ps3 yet since nobody here has even played a Ps3 yet. Hell, we gotta wait another year to find out unless sony decides to a worldwide launch instead of a staggered one like they have said. Yes I admit the 360 is very impressive, but like usual the Ps3 will survive the long haul and inevitably come out on top, as usual.
As far as the shortage goes, all hype, 360's where on ebay almost instantly after they went on sale selling in the $1000 range or more. Probably microsoft employees selling them to make even more money off the hype, and I enphasize HYPE.Sterling Archer: Oh my god! You killed a hooker!
Cyril Figgis: Call girl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril! When they're dead they're just hookers!

Ya know thats funny, I was there for 4 hours and actually got one of the x360's and not a single person ever said anything like you say you did.And what time were you there? I was there twice that day once on my lunch break (1:30 When I said that) and 7:30-8:00 ish when I walked up to a big indian kid I know sitting at the end of the seats and spoke briefely with him. There were far fewer people there the second time around than the first as well. And I will stand by what I said too.

I wasnt there till after 8:30 so when you said it I wasnt there. Since you said it at 1:30 then every person you said it to left because the guy in the line that had been there the longest got there shortly after 3.
The friend I went with bought the system since we made a deal that if he buys the 360 I have to buy a PS3. I'm just glad he didnt get one of the lemons that I've been hearing about all over the internet.

I'm just glad he didnt get one of the lemons that I've been hearing about all over the internet.I didn't pay too much attention to who was there when I was there for the first time and I didn't know anyone there then so I couldn't tell you if the same people were there. The second time around though I did know the one person I talked to.
