I think we're missing the point. True, it's silly that someone in the Blu-ray realm has declared themselves the winner but the real story that it's really great that CBS is putting out an HD version of a classic TV show. I hope other studios follow their lead and put other classic shows out in HD. Now, back to the HD war: I don't have a preference as to which format is better. However the fact remains that since the Playstation 3 (with a Blu-ray drive built in)is one of the hottest items out and gamers of all ages are clamering to get one, and that they've sold more than 2 million units in 3 months in the US alone , it would appear Sony has a definite advantage.

Wow, you're delusional. Sony (by their own admission) only shipped 1 million units to the U.S. (another million to Japan) and they haven't come close to selling out. Go to any place that sells consoles and you will find stacks of unsold PS3s. Time Magazine named it "Flop of the Year" and Japanese retailers have resorted to deep discounts (on top of the already discounted Japanese price) to get the units off their floors. While the 360 was sold out until April of 2006, the PS3 early adopters were tapped out before the end of December. The PS3 is Virtual Boy-level disaster.
“The other one is a biggie, and it's something very noticeable in the videos: touch sensitivity is pretty bad. Using the virtual keyboard proved to be far too painful, and we're pretty sure it wasn't multitouch-friendly.”
