Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD format war won thanks to PS3

Compare these prices from dabs.com:

• Xbox 360 £300 (with only a DVD drive!)
• PS3 £300 including one free game (and a Blueray drive).

If you want to be able to play HD-DVD discs on your Xbox you have to spend a further £111.22 for the external HD-DVD drive, yuk! They are even including 5 discs.. guess what is not selling well? They'll be burying them in the desert along with all those ET Atari cartridges at this rate.

Toshiba's standalone HD-DVD player costs £200. Again, it includes 5 of those HD-DVD discs they're desperate to get rid of!

The Xbox 360 having an HD-DVD driver would probably not have made much difference, as it is already available as an option, and many games are downloaded from the marketplace.

The only thing Xbox 360 has going for it is the games. Save your money and buy a PS3 which can already play HD films though ;)
