Yes, only £130 more on top of the £400 you spent on the Xbox360 in the
first place, or around £530 total.

How is it an extension? You can't play a HD-DVD in a standard DVD player,
and both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD players will be capable of playing standard
DVDs.

Which means almost nothing. It's like getting a copier these days that's
made by Xerox, just because it's from Xerox. Sure, they originated the
copier technology, but that doesn't mean nobody else is capable of making a
copier just as good, or even better, than them.

Also, Sony is part of the DVD Forum.
