HD-DVD / Blu-Ray ownership poll.
Now that both formats are out and the holiday's are over I figured a poll of HD format ownership is in order. I just got into HD-DVD myself recently.

I wish I could choose more than one choice in the poll, because I presently own something like 50 HD DVD discs to play on my XA1, 3 Blu-ray discs with no player as of yet, however, I can't wait and am seriously itching like crazy to finally buy a PS3 to play them on, that is, if I can ever find one.
DAMN YOU SONY!!!

I have the 360 HD-DVD drive because of the price. And own 10 HD-DVD's. I'd get into Blu-Ray as well if I could find a player for under $300. Blu-Ray would be the only reason for me to get a PS3 so I'm not too eager to pay $500 for one right now.

Well I had the 360 for 6 months prior to getting the HD-DVD drive. There are lots of good games to play on it. There are zero games that interest me on the PS3. So spending $500 on a PS3 just for Blu-Ray doesn't make sense to me. I'm not expecting to find a Blu-Ray player for $300 right now. A year from now yes I will expect it.

I've had a Toshiba HD-A1 player since July and I picked up a PS3 a week ago. I'll still buy the HD-DVD version when the title is released on both formats, but there look to be quite a few Blu-ray discs I plan on picking up in the next few months.
