XBox 360 can't compete, because it lacks Blu-ray capability. Other set top boxes can't compete, because they can't play DVDs, let alone Blu-rays.

Winner: Sony.]]>Nov 10th 2008 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/blockbuster-could-release-its-own-movie-set-top-box/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/blockbuster-could-release-its-own-movie-set-top-box/

Of course, lacking a hard disk makes online HD movie rentals problematic to say the least; good luck filling up your much more expensive, slow, and low-capacity memory cards with HD movies.

And, just to spell it out, XBox Live Gold costs $50 a year and is mandatory if you want to play people online, whereas access to the PlayStation Network is free.

Not only is the XBox penny wise, pound foolish, but it actually COSTS MORE to own and use.]]>Nov 20th 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/blockbuster-could-release-its-own-movie-set-top-box/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/10/blockbuster-could-release-its-own-movie-set-top-box/
