360 and HD DVD, loss of value?
Well blu-Ray is the apparant winner, and microsoft isnt planning on making a blu ray attachment....so do you think this hurt future 360 sales? Ive been on the fence as to whether to get the 360 or ps3, and this could very well be the tipping point. I already have a wii and enjoy it thoroughly, but want to play more of the great titles out.
The ps3 costs the same as a blu-ray player anyway, so it seems like a logical choice now. Any comments?

It depends what you want it for, if you want it mainly for the DVD part, then buy the PS3, since it has the Blu-ray capabilities, and what-not, but if you don't really care, you'd still get the 360 for the games.

Personally no, I have had 2 Xbox 360's (blasted red ring of death!) and I haven't bought one HD-DVD, neither has my friend. As a matter of fact i don't see the difference between normal DVD, HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. So nah, I don't think it will affect sales, I think majority of people still stick with normal DVD's (they look better anyway, without the crappy blue around it, oh haha get it its blue! =.=)

If I were you, I would buy a PS3. Reasons:
-Blu Ray Player
-Can play games
-DVD Player
All in one. What else do you need?
Of course, I am not sure what Microsoft will do, but I am certain of one thing: they won't let the XBox 360 fall down due to lack of compatibility, so they might make a new XBox or something.

I say PS3. Firstly, I just can't stand the Xbox anyway, but, I have a reason this time.
If you want to watch Blu-Rays, yeah, get the PS3, that'll not waste any money.
Plus, most Xbox games come out on the playstation anyway

Yeah, including Call of Duty 4, which a very important factor. Besides, Assassin' Creed is also on the PS3, and aside from that, I don't see any other cool games that could make me want to buy an XBox 360, besides Halo 3, even though Call of Duty 4 pawns Halo 3.

And, it's like you said, the PS3 costs as much as a blu-ray player anyway, so if blu-ray is that important for you, then buy a PS3, since it'll be far cheaper in the long run.

the problem with 7th Gen is that most games get released on at least two of the systems, which is kind of pointless, I like Xbox 360, thats just what I originally got, but i don't see it being any different for PS3. However im being optomistic, I don't mind which system wins the war, but with the sales rate (Halo 3 selling more copies then PS3 has sold consoles) it looks like PS3 is going to loose

I agree with you Kev. Wii's and Xbox 360's are still flying out of shelves around here. I've seen large stacks in retail stores of PS3s and they're usually sold out of Xbox 360's and Wii's.
I don't think the whole HD/Blu-ray is going to effect the Xbox 360 at all. I believe most Xbox 360 buyers aren't interested in HD movies, they buy the Xbox 360 for the system it's self. The Xbox 360 does have it's exclusives. Also HD/Blu-Ray DVDs is a luxury after all. High definition movies need to be played on a high definition TV to see it's true sharpness. Also the price for HD movies are 30 dollars each, which is very costly.
