It was jan-feb '08, and I had decided to sell my gaming rig, I was tired of being in the hardware race, and I just wanted a piece of hardware that would just be it. No need to worry about anything.
I wanted a powerful console, so I was down to either the PS3 or the 360. Both had games I wanted, but I didn't want to pay for online. I also believed that blu-ray would become the dominant format over HDDVD, and lastly, I was stuck with a pretty big library of **legal HD movies that I still wanted to be able to watch.

I had hoped I would be able to play said movies with a linux distro installed on the PS3, but sadly that has not been the case (yet), but I am still very satisfied with my PS3.

i don't think the PS3 drive can read HD-DVDs so it's unlikely you'll ever be able to play those. Unless you're talking about .mkv's which you can play.
