One of the main sticking points between both HD DVD and BluRay reaching an agreed standard "format" prior to their separate launches was over the use of HDi (XML and Jscript) or Java. HDi was favoured my most of the parties involved to begin with, but something happened and the majority suddenly jumped on the BD-J wagon and that's when the talks broke down and each group went ahead with their separate launches. I'd sure love to know what happened in those meetings to turn so many companies away from HDi though. I'm guessing M$ thought it had a winner with HDi and tried to leverage some kind of advantage from it that didn't sit to well with the other mega-corps involved. Regardless, I'm happy that BD won, I like my PS3. I picked up a 360 about 6 months ago but I'm seriously regretting it now as all of the exclusives I got it for it are also being released on the PC. They'll probably run faster and in higher resolutions on my rig too. If it had true exclusives that weren't just Halo (which I'm not a fan of, console shooters aren't my thing, got a PC for that) and a handful of XBL games then I might keep it, but I'm really scraping to find a reason why I shouldn't hock it. 360 with sub-par versions of what I could have on the PC or a Wii + funds towards a smexy Macbook Pro for the 08 refresh...
