Okay,
I'm in my 30 day no quibble return with Amazon. Should I return my HD DVD player and buy a 40Gb PS3?

After recent announcements I would be surprised if HD DVD will live any longer than Betamax

Studio announces switch to Blu Ray

You've missed an option out on your poll : 'Stop being an early adopter, and wait while all the fuss has died down before deciding which to buy'

LOL at the CDi player !!

Yup - HD -DVD is dead. Universal are likely to defect at the end of the month, followed by paramount and then that will be it.

Not only do you get a very good BluRay Player (with particularly good upscaling) you get a games console thrown in. Job done.

A patient person will buy a player that does both. and costs £200 less

Or buy a media PC and fit a HD DVD and Blu-ray combo drive which'll do both. Just make sure it has a HDCP graphics card.

Option 3: Buy an Xbox 360 and get a combo player with the change.

To buy a similar spec Xbox 360 (i.e. not the base model) and to play online (so paying the online subs as well) and be wireless (as the PS3 is) I don't think you will have that much change to be honest.
