This is coming from someone who has both and although HD-DVDs/Bluray do look great the cost of the dvds is still to high.I was looking at a combi player or bluray player and they started at
£600, so i brought a PS3 40GB and a Toshiba Ep30
(with 7 hd-dvds) for
£200.
I didnt want to use the ps3 as a dvd player.
Now though i'm thinking should i be upgrading my amp so i can get dolby trueHD and DTS-HD audio.

i got the sony 910 amp/receiver and am loving it, entry levelish but you can hook up 6 hd imputs and it does 7.1 so it's a massive upgrade for most people who just use their tvs to produce sound

the PS3 uses HDMI.It is an excellent upscaler.
