Depends on what movies you like i think 18 out of the top 20 movies last year will be released on Blue ray only.Movie studios supporting Blue Ray are Disney (Buena Vista), Fox, Lionsgate, MGM and Sony, which has decided to support Blu-ray exclusively. Warner and Paramount has decided to support both Blu-ray and HD-DVD. Universal Studios will only support HD DVD currently. So depending on which studios films you like take your choice. I read that microsoft will release a blue-ray drive for the 360 if it thinks its needed. LG showed a dual format player at one of the electronic shows but they cant release it yet as it compromises some of the standards for both formats or something like that. Hope thats some help to you,
