Default Never announced it but...

I picked up a PS3 about a month ago to compliment my 360 w/ add-on.

I am now format neutral... kind of.

I actually have started buying BDs over HD DVDs for two reasons:
1) My PS3 has HDMI out vs. a choice between my 360s component or VGA cables (which wash colors)
2) No stupid combo / dual sided discs.

Past that, I really can't see any super amazing difference between the two formats past a small difference in sharpness and hue due to the different cables.

The disc preference is almost solely based on WB HD DVD combo discs.
