well like john said the price wont be much more for a ps3 (£425) so at the moment getting a next gen console seems to be the cheapest way into hd. for stand alone players hd dvd ones are around half the price of blu ray players. | |

Or wait for the ps3 and get a built in blu ray player for not much more. | |

yeah your looking at around £380-£390 for a premium 360 with hd dvd add on, and about £80 less if its the core system. thats still cheaper than a stand alone hd dvd player, unless you were looking at the upscalers? ( wont go as high as 1080p) | |

"the one", you saying you need additional hardware to make the xbox 360 a HD DVD player? | |

If you want hd-dvd the xbox suggestion is quite a good one, although i'd wait and see if the new one has hdmi or not. | |
