So, I guess I should buy a PS3, huh.

I really can't tell if you are being sincere or sarcastic. I wouldn't, But hey, It's your money...In any case, you should look at everything that's available to you and decide for yourself. Don't be a hater, Just be happy with what you've got.

In terms of Bluray. If you steer clear of 1.0 profile you SHOULD be okay. As far as I know you can't go from 1.0 to 2.0 outside of PS3.

I know I'm probably in the minority but I really hope Bluray loses. I really can't stomach the thought of Sony being in control. But I guess we'll just see how things pan out.

Well i would recommend the PS3. In terms of picture quality the PS3 is amazing for both bluray & DVD. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to test out a couple of bluray players, a samsung and philips, and quality wise they were really inferior to the PS3. the price was slightly more than the PS3 at the time and i just couldn't justify the extra bucks for worse quality. After all not only do you get a player but also a great games console (even though the games available at the moment are pretty crappy). i also think that some of the 1.0 profile players can be upgraded to 2.0 through a firmware update.

i do have to admit that i'm not a sony lover in the slightest but bluray is winning the format war at the moment and i hope that bluray comes out on top because microsoft are pushing the HD-DVD format and i hate Microsoft hell of a lot more than Sony.
