Amazon hasn't had it in stock for awhile. Yes, the 360 upscales to 1080p now. That said, I'm still most likely going to get this. Native HD is better than upscaled. Well, as long as I can afford one while it still comes with the monkey movie. If not, I will probably wait. Really hoping to pick one up at launch though, if my finances come through. And HD-DVD is better than Blu-Ray. There's already 150% as many titles on HD as blu ray, many are on both formats, and only sony titles will stick with exclusive blu ray. HD will win, if either does, for one simple reason: cost of production. The last I read blu ray discs cost around 40 times as much to produce as HD-DVDs. There aren't going to be any cheap blu rays any time soon. They simplely cost too much to produce. On the other hand, there are already sub-$20 HD-DVDs. As someone who bought his first DVD player in '98 for $500, and bought more than a few $50 a pop DVDs back then, the cost of HD-DVD doesn't look all that bad. Even for gaming, HD is better, at least at this point. Blu ray discs hold a little more, but HD discs access MUCH faster. Congrats to all those buying a PS3. Enjoy your PSP-like load times.
