You gotta be kidding me. Forward thinking on the PS2 brought the DVD to the mainstream- people who wouldn't have ordinarily bought a DVD player, suddenly had one. Remember when Blockbuster and Hollywood Video stocked VHS's as their main fodder? HD/BluRay DVD's are poised to do the same thing, but it will take console gaming to push it to the level that is accessible to the normal household.

Microsoft doesn't want to include an HD-DVD immediately? Fine. But make it an option for later, or lose the battle to the BluRay ready PS3's. To demand that all developers demonstrate their games in HiDef at E3, and then to take a backwards step with their analog outputs back here in the real world, is unnacceptable. My penchance for buying an Xbox360 is rapidly diminishing. I have a nice TV, a nice stereo system, and want the best console I can get for showing off both. Sorry MS, thank you Sony.
