I personally don't care who wins the format war, as I'm not buying into either format right now. That said, I love all of the comments that say "wait for BD Live!" Of course, what they don't say is "wait for BD Live (profile 2.0), when you have to buy a new player." At least HD-DVD was a finished spec. . . of all the current BD players, how many support profile 2.0? Oh. . . one.

Personally, I'd rather see a class action suit over the insane bills that iPhone users receive when taking the phone overseas. According to Apple AND AT&T, the phone still sends and receives data with the phone off. Pathetic!

Mike . . . RE: Your Cingular Pearl Trackball not lighting up. . . It's supposed to. Mine does without any issue at all. It comes on when the keyboard lights up.

Am I the only person here that has heard of Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD? The HD-DVD Add-on for the current 360 can't output these formats because they can only be sent over an analog connection (read: HDMI). Optical doesn't provide enough bandwidth for the transfer.

The only people that should give a damn about the lack of HDMI on the 360 are those with the HD-DVD add-on. We're the ones that are losing out. Not those who think it's going to make a difference over component video. . .

I actually dig the 680. Hopefully I can replace my 650 with a white one soon. That said, anyone know where I might get the Apple skin that's on the Sprint Treo?
