Spiderman is coming out with the trilogy set in Blu-ray and the video is supposed to be awesome. That's why it's nice owning both formats. \:\)
Sony is introducing a new PlayStation 3 model with a 40-gigabyte hard drive for $399 in the US. The 40GB will be bundled with Spider-man 3 on Blu-ray.
It's still cheaper to get two players tha buying a combo.

I'm planning on going format neutral when Denon gives us a totally universal player next fall. I know it'll be a couple grand, so I'm starting to save my pennies now.

The reason why I went with HD-DVD first is that I could get a full-featured player now, as well as most of the high-def titles I'm interested in. Blu-ray won't deliver a profile 2.0 player until the spring, and I won't take a chance that the player I buy now may not work with the full-spec disks that are to come. Although the PS3 is most likely a safe choice in that matter.

I kind of went crazy with my HD DVD and Blu-ray purchases. HD DVD because I love to support the format, and Blu-ray because of the select Disney titles that were buy one, get one free. Plus with the 30-33% off at Amazon.com, and the additional 10% for buying a certain number of discs when they were first selling them, it was only $10.something per Blu-ray, and since I'm an Amazon.com Prime member, I get the 2-day shipping on all of my stuff, so it really works out to buy HD discs from them. However, it doesn't help that my pickiness goes on vacation when I think I'm getting a good deal. Now I'm sure I have many discs that I will watch once and be done with. Ha ha.
