IMHO. Both formats more than likely will lower prices on discs and players. J6P can reap good prices but won't be any closer to a survivor in the format war. I wonder what prices will be like for Black Friday for the software.
I really don't think the PS3 will drop further than $499 though for the holiday. Even so, it's a steal for its features at that price versus other BD players. Obviously it will go lower eventually but it will make for a nice holiday present for some lucky folks!
The 5 free movies for BD are pretty lame though given what is out there versus what is being offered. Better than nothing I suppose but that may change also.
Guess you figured out I'm leaning towards BD. It will not be both for me.
