I&#8217;ve gone back and forth over this a lot the past year, but up to this point there has just been too much uncertainty about which format would win.  Warner&#8217;s announcement supporting Blu-ray definitely gives an advantage to Sony&#8217;s format, but I don&#8217;t know if I would call it the winner just yet.  I&#8217;ve been leaning towards a PS3 anyway, but with the new models lacking full backwards compatibility I&#8217;m thinking I may have to look for a used model.  Either way, this is good news as one format finally has a major advantage over the other.  Another point of interest:  I noticed recently that LG has a CD\/DVD\/HD-DVD\/Blu-ray writer that can be found for about $250.
