The upconvert resolution on the PS3 to HD (on regular DVD) is also better than my Denon 1080P upconvert DVD player. In my opinion it makes my 1000 DVD collection all worth watching over.

I dont get your argument.
so you want to pay more for a player and the same for the software?
toshiba was subsidizing the players in hopes of making it up on the backend. Newsflash... so is Sony, just not as much (or more on the PS3).
So since BR Disks cost $.05-15 more per disk, toshiba should force the studios and stores (which set the prices anyway) to make them $.05-15 cents cheaper? (http://wesleytech.com/blu-ray-vs-hd-...-revealed/111/)
and to be correct, since HD is HD (dont give me storage specs, bandwidth, etc, more movies are reportedly just as good if not better than the BR copy plus now HD has interactivity, good luck with BD-J) Your example should read:
I prefer paying for an S2000 at its $34,000 MSRP than for an S2000 at $25,000, then i will buy gas from a different dealer at the same price as my local dealer only because i know it costs him 10 cents more per gallon to get it delivered to his location. so he isn't actually making money off of me.
And while you are paying for your S, the softtop in your S2000 will become powered in an upcoming ECU firmware upgrade (Q208) as well as allowing VTEC (not announced yet, but it is being displayed at CES!), while mine reaches 9k all day. Oh, and, certain early purchasers of the S2000 will not be able to enjoy the power softtop option or VTEC, but the car still gets you from point a to point b, which is all you ever wanted in a car, right?
One more benefit of HD-DVD, you can use a regular burner to burn HD material to a regular DVD-R and it will play in HD glory in your HD DVD player. I like this because for 2 years i have had a 720p camcorder and have no way of playing this for others besides a pc or the camera. now i can make HD home videos for about $1. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=705146
I am sad that HD is dead, i just hope Sony plays the good corporation and will start to release features that work quickly and cheaply. And most of all, they better start making use of the "extra" storage that everyone keeps talking about but not seeing.

I'm buying a PS3 soon also.. only cause I need a blu ray player.
But hey Sony.. let's start working on making this a GAMING & BLU RAY system.
You may have shut down Toshiba in one of those categories, but Microsoft is owning you in the other.

Ps3 games are very good...its why I own a PS3 and NOT an xbox360 (on top of the blu-ray player part)
Most people (game magazines, online game sites, etc) agree that the 360's game library is A LOT better than the PS3's. Sony has not come through with that part of the promise so far.
