The price difference is almost negligi8ble once you add a HD DVD drive to the XBOX 360 cost.

£450 sounds expensive for a 'games console' but when you factor in the Blu-Ray capability is it really that expensive?

People said the same thing about the PS2 being too expensive when that first came out, but again, factor in the built in DVD capability, it wasn't really so dear.....

Obviously Microsoft have beaten Sony to the punch, and built up a loyal fan base already, but only time will tell.....
