I bought the Panasonic DMP-BD30K (approx $450) which works great and is a generation past the others (profile 1.1 for the picture-in-picture function). Don't bother with the HD-DVD format, the players and discs are now all on closeout and will soon be extinct. Also cancelled my Blockbuster membership as they could not ship me a single blu-ray disc in a whole month. Netflix probably has a better supply. Blu-ray has certainly won the format war.

I have a 360 and a Wii..I even went for the 360's HD DVD player so i'm having a hard time justifying a PS3 purchase. The only game for the PS3 that I can't get on the 360 is Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and quite frankly I'm not buying the system just for that. Plus I've got an Apple TV so I'll just rent HD movies from there and not worry about Blu-ray for the time being. @Jason

I don't know if there is a single game I want on the PS3 that i can't get for the Wii or X360. So — if I want HD DVD I should get a PS3?

I just wish the Bluetooth Sony PS3 DVD player remote control had an on/off button. I haven’t tried other Blu-ray players, but my PS3 upscales regular DVDs really well.
