Case closed you the HD DVD price argument...it doesn't hold water.

I do enjoy my sound system, but you don't need an expensive sound system to hear the difference. I can also hear the difference using my computer sound system....sorry, all you have to do is listen since the sound system is the same, any difference in the source can be heard.

Not sure I agree with you on the Ipod issue, yes it was about $30 more than other players, but they didn't have the cool one-touch wheel (safer while driving). Also most of them had 6 or 8 GB capacity when I was looking. The Ipod had 30GB and a bigger screen. (I guess now you'll touch on the greater capacity of the BR). But the Ipod had 5 times the capacity, not just 50% more. It also had brand recognition. Much higher end and just about anything else out there. Sony and Toshiba are about equal.

You still have a very good point though, and you may be right. I just don't see the cool factor of Sony BR.... Now PS3 has that cool factor hence the 2 million units sold. See the difference?
