[dog breath]

going to buy one in next month. which one and why? jus got 42" hd tv to play games on and hd dvds too if that makes any differenceand I also Preffer shootem up games.

the 360 has many many fps games which sounds right up your alley and is also cheaper. i would go for that but you will find a mixed bag of opinions offered.

well to play your dvds youll need an hd dvd player if you go for the PS3 as it uses blueray disks. the 360 has an hd attachment that you can buy and play the dvds through the 360.
im a PS3 fan tho so i would recommend it but the 360 might be more what your looking for

lets not confuse HDDVD with BlueRay.
The two formats are incompatible, with HDDVD being supported on the Xbox360 via a �99 add on drive and BlueRay being supported by the Playstation3 straight out of the box.
HDDVD is being backed by some movie studios and BlueRay by the others. This means that most films are being released on one format or the other but not both. So at the moment to watch all the films in HD you need both systems

I myself have and Xbox360 which at the moment has the majority of the games but the PS3 should start to catch up in the next 12-18 months

[tu de bang]

so if i get a xbox 360 elite it will cost me �400 in total to start watching hd dvd's. that is a lot.

Ps3 is �300 and can watch straight away with �20 for a remote.

AAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

If HD films are a big part of what you want then go for a PS3. Most of the big studios are supporting Bluray with only 2 left backing HD DVD. The most recent is Warner who will be producing new films only in Bluray. Most people are saying the HD battle is won with Bluray the victor.
