Best Buy announced it will feature and recommend Blu Ray in its stores, though it will continue to offer HD DVD. For those of you considering Blu Ray, the PS3 is the way to go. I'm not a gamer (the game that came with my PS3 is still in its shrink wrap) but as a standard def DVD upconverter but particularly as a Blu Ray player, the PS3 is tough to beat and is future-proof and easily updated (Sony updates it about every six to eight weeks on its web site.) Except for the 40 gig version, it also plays SACD. In recent updates, it offers double and quadruple oversampling of redbook CDs (if your pre/pro or receiver can handle the input). IMO, this is the most bang for the buck of any CE item I've ever purchased.
