Read the first post on the first page.

Projected release date is Nov 05, projected price is $295 for a basic version with one controller, $360 with a second controller and hard drive. If the prices are right, I can't see why anyone would opt for the basic version.

Sony is already planning to integrate Blu-ray into the Playstation 3, while Microsoft is expected to announce this week that HD DVD will be a non-exclusive component of the upcoming Xbox 360. Both next-gen gaming consoles will be used for DVD playback and home media networking.

BOOM!!! And the war continues. Combine this with the earlier news of the triple-layer HD DVD-ROM, and that's a gigantic blow to the Blu-ray camp. I'm glad to see that Microsoft has better sense that some here.

Yes, I think I might be!

$300 for the xbox 360? I would buy one instantly . I think $400 to $500 is more likely.
