Playful Holidays...

The long awaited holiday season for this year is almost here. Two months down the line, we'll have the new set of gadgets and the big ones expected are the Zune & PS3.

PS3 had been on the pipe line for a long time. And the advantage is its 60GB version being compatible with that of Blu-Ray DVDs. PS3 is already one year behind XBox 360 and has already lost a good percentage of the market. Now, the question is can it make a great entrance as their PS2?

Blu-Ray has been in the market more time than its competitor HD-DVD. People who would have bought Blu-Ray DVD players won't really wait for PS3's advantage on the same. Also, if people who have bought HD-DVD may probably go for XBox360 foreseeing some future compatibility.

And now, Microsoft has made the announcement of XBox360's compatibility with HD-DVD discs. This add-on drive for USD 200/- is also coming by mid-november right for the time of holidays. And the conference with Peter Jackson would sure have its own positive impact on HD-DVD & XBox360's new add-on drive.

So, probably HD-DVD will have better chances this holiday & that would probably put down the sales for PS3!! What say, Sony?
