read HD DVDs? I ask because as I see commercials for movies coming on the different formats, some movies are only coming to DVD and HD DVD, while others are coming to bluray as well...

I just didn't know if bluray has full compatibility with all formats.

No it can't but then after the HD DVD is gone for while there is a possibilty that Sony might come up with a firmware update that could read HD DVD's. Now this is just something that may never happen but then it wouldn't be impossible.

alright, thanks for the replies. Kinda sucks for now though, I've been doing all this debating about console wars to finally decide on PS3... and now there's a whole new war for DVD formats..

At least 300 is coming to bluray ^_^

PS3 can only read DVDs and Blu Ray. HD DVD is not supported by Sony.

Did you read somewhere in your instruction booklet that says it reads anything besides BluRay? If you would have you'd have seen there is ONLY BluRay supported for high def movies on disk.
