 The Blu-ray Disc format represents PS3 and its games while HD DVD format represents 360 and its games! You can both find BD-movies and HD DVD-movies... The BD-format has better stats than the HD DVD, and that's why PS3 games CAN BE BETTER in both graphics and storage, but if the BD-capacity is used well is another case... I only say that PS3 games CAN BE BETTER, but not that THEY ACTUALLY ARE!
