The interesting thing is I would guess it\'s the early adopters who are most likely to want to support HD-DVD. Why not adopt that tech early, too?
And at this point, they only need to put out $200 to do so, as opposed to at least $500 to jump on the Blu-Ray bandwagon with the core PS3.
Whatever.
That or they can pick up a stand-alone HD-DVD player for less than $500. Last I checked, there was a $480 HD-DVD player through Circuit City. I wouldn\'t doubt the availability of an even cheaper player by the time PS3 launches. I wouldn\'t count out a 360/HD-DVD bundle either.
I have a feeling that Toshiba is going to push the 360 add-on pretty hard as their biggest threat comes from the blu-ray equipped PS3.
