HD-DVD is the one losing support on an almost daily basis, more and more studios and companies are backing Blu-Ray.

Blu ray I think is the way the industry is going, hd-dvd is going the beta-max way i think.

Anybody got the tv though, is it a good set?

No as you can't update that player at all, so you won't be able to access all the new features on blu ray profile 2.0 on it.

John Lewis had a deal on for £999 for the KDL-40V3000 + 5 Year Warranty + 40 GB PS3 at christmas, so you could just wait for their next AmAzInG dEaL to come along.

Which of course won't matter to a lot of people.

Which is why my advice is don't ignore something that's only 1.0 if you're not interested in the extra features, you could get a good bargain in the coming months.

On the other hand your advice was a straight don't buy it if it's not 1.1 at least.

The PS3 option is not comparable to the standalone BD player the OP posted about. I don't know much about the BD player in question, but I'd assume it doesn't have a noisy fan to spoil the movie.

It's not an X-Box, it hardly makes any noise.

Yes yes yes....
You are totally right man

The PS3 has a very fan, but this fan actually comes with speakers that are built-in the fan. These aren't ordinary speakers, they're 5.1
I mean gosh man, its so loud you run the risk of going deaf

KEEP AWAY FROM THE PS3
