Thumbs up HD-DVD player

Here is a link to a thread I started in possibly the wrong area.

Then you are not getting an HD-DVD player. You'll be getting a Blu-ray disk player. Additionally, unless you are planning on camping out 3 days in front of a BB or CC or are already on a smaller store's waiting list, you will not be getting one until Jan/Feb.

FWIW, I'll be getting one, also.

I though Blu-ray is HD DVD player from Sony. Best-Buy selling Sony Blu-Ray DVD player for $1000.
If PS3 doesn't play HD DVD and it cost $500 then that sucks.

Two different formats... just like XBox games don't play in a PS2. XBox will be offering an add-on to enable HD-DVD capabilities later. PS3 will utilize Blu-ray.

blue ray and HD-dvd are completely different formats and are not compatible. currently there are no true HD-dvd players. the toshiba player doesnt even output 1080p so why waste $500 now when theres barely any movies out.
