1k on a pc? Where do you get yours? I have spent like 500$ total on mine and it does everything fine, even though it is under the huge strain of running windows vista...Microsoft sees that I think, thats why they are going to have games cross platform via online play. So you could play halo 3 on 360 against someone running it on a PC. ( I dont know if thats one of the games that will do that, its jsut an example. ) I see it as a small first step. The only reason the console wont go away is as long as someone can make a good system for 200$, 300$ people will buy it because they wont be able to afford 1000$ (at least) or more on a PC.
and to erasure fan1, you said I think HD DVD will win just for the simple fact that people know the name DVD and the general public HATES change. Look how long it took people to get into DVD from VHS.
Well, no offense, but IMHO I think Blu Ray will win just for the simple fact that people like bigger storage capacity, and the general public will LOVE a single disk with 200GB of data on it. Look how much happier people are with DVDs than VHSs.
You might be right blue ray might win. The reason I say people will go for HD-DVD is I work in an electronics store and we get people asking about HD-DVD but not so much for blue ray. When I talk about it most have never heard of it. Is blue ray better? Yes, but so was beta and mini disk and how did they do? 200GB disks are great, but trust me the average person wont care. Unless sony comes out with a blue ray recorder at an affordable price it wont matter. You are right, people are very happy with DVD and when people have to go to something new they tend to go with what they are comfortable with, and thats DVD. Sony needs to get better support from the studios as well, look at the UMD, no support, no one cares. Part of the slow start for DVD is big time names like Disney and Lucas would not release movies on the format for a few years. It didnt hurt it because of no other competing format. It will be interesting to see how it plays out, time will tell.

I did a bit of research and I found that the blu-ray disk is 25gb (single layer) and 50gb (dual layer) and the HD-DVD is 15gb (single layer) and 30gb (dual layer) So it is bigger storage but not by that much.
