I didn't go back in and get the deal. I had one in hand and Best Buy had a customer on an "impulse buy". In the end, I'm sort of glad they pulled the plug on me as when I came home and did a bit more research, I've discovered one thing is true: Content is King and that is why the 360 is currently owning the PS3....
The ONLY movies I buy are ones that everyone in the house can watch -- i.e. PG13 or less... What I want are Dreamworks titles, Pixar, a *handful* of Disney films and and documentaries like the BBC/Discovery channel's blue planet. The content is spread across both Blu Ray and HD-DVD but most of it isn't even on the release schedule...
If either format wanted to win this war, instead of focusing so much on price and such, they should focus on the library. Get the older "hits" out there. Shrek, Ice Age, The Incredibles, and so on... Even if Toshiba had to spend money to help the studio re-master and burn the media, that would be worth the investment as it will drive people outside the hardcore fringe to take the dive....
I'm just going to sit on the sidelines a while longer and just get an upconverter...
I hate trolls.
