X-Box 360 or Playstation III

We bought an Xbox Elite 3 days after they released them, it lasted 3 weeks and took a poop.. 1 week later we had a new replacement unit and have had no problems with the unit and it came with a 3 year warranty deal as well as an extra month of Xbox live.
Xbox live accounts are about $4 bucks a month if you buy them in 13 month packs.
The HD DVD player attachment is a sweet deal for $179.00 and you get 5 free HD DVDs with it.

I think Blu ray is going to become a past venture as the costs are higher than HD DVDs and the picture is not as good (IMHO).
Sony did Blu Rays to try and stop DVD piracy, but I think they alienated the rest of the consumers as well.
