Got it at Best Buy tonight for $54.99 and used a leftover Hannukah gift card to cover the purchase. I'm just waiting for a refurb PS3 to show up in my district or someone to trade in a PS3, and I'm set!

I'm in France and busy
link to Toshiba bailing rumor plz

Toshiba bailed out after I went Blu-Ray. I am pretty much the indicator for politics, economy and videogame industry!

That or it was Willco.

I have on good authority that Toshiba was anxiously awaiting what format I'd back, especially since I sport a jet black Xbox 360 Elite and that HD-DVD drive is cheap. But I want a winning format that has Evil Dead II, so I opted for Blu-Ray. Immediately as Best Buy rung up my purchase, a red light went off and a transmission was sent to Toshiba headquarters alerting them of my purchase. Afterwards, news of the departure from the HD-DVD scene began to leak. Do the math.

"This week, two key retailers, Best Buy and Netflix Inc., both got off the fence and threw their support behind Blu-ray exclusively, citing widespread studio support and consumer preference."
The war could hardly be more over at this point!
-
Now go pick up a HDMI cable and a copy of Ratatouille. Even if you don't like the movie it looks balls out amazing in HD.
-
Are picking up a gimped ps3, wilco?
-
You have chosen wisely. :pimp
-
Im on both sides - HD DVD 360 addon and PS3 = not being left out on the cold on any release.
-
it'll all get re-released on bluray anyway
-
michael bay says blu-ray is better, and the guy made armageddon :bow
-

No doubt, but in a lot of cases it could be a long ass time.

I just want Casablanca on blu ray and I'll import Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind from Japan. The rest I can wait for really.

I have plenty to watch in the meantime!

The Pixar Short Films Collection is pristine as well; amazing considering the age of some of the content.

Wal-Mart is going Blu-ray exclusive, too.
As much as I dislike that company, that should really bring an end to this stupid format war.

Just reading the meltdowns on Engadget HD by these two goons makes me feel good that I waited until a winner was confirmed. :-*
