As for the languishing on shelves I still have not seen one in a store in my town. To get mine my wife had to camp out. She would show up each day when the truck came with the other people in line and see if she could get one. If there are some in stock in other areas then good. I seen stock as well. Just because something is in stock does not mean nobody wants it. Seeing as th ePS3 is selling at twice the rate as the 360 did when released I wouldn't say it's a failure so far. I wouldn't doubt if MS had to release a new version of the 360 just to keep up.
Why do people keep saying this. According to the official numbers released PS3 is only 100,000 units behind the WII for Dec. PS2 beat out everybody. That plus the PS3 is selling at twice the rate that the 360 did at launch. Games are getting bigger. Some are even saying that 50 gig is not enough for the latest releases. MS is going to have to release a new 360 just to keep up.
I'm backing blu-ray based on tech specs. I bought a PS3 based on tech specs. If I bought hd-dvd just because I hated Sony I would have a hard time because MS is the major backer of HD-DVD and they have done far far more to hurt the consumer then Sony ever has.

Why does everybody keep saying this. It is not true. Just because a blogger says something does not make it fact. This was all over Digg and thoroughly debunked in the comments there. But people still believe it. Many producers including Vivid (The biggest) are exclusively blu-ray.
Just because a blogger says that one producer will also make hddvd disks does not mean there will be no blu-porn. Vivid which is the largest producer is exclusively blu-ray. I hate it when people take bloggers for the truth.
This is the guy who was detained on 9/11. He sued Air Canada claiming that he was bleeding after having his chest electrodes removed. If they are growing into your skin you might want to clean a little more. Ick
Ever hear of the super cheap Corvette because the guy died in it and you can't get the smell out? They tested this Urban tale on MythBisters (Discovery Channel). They put 2 pigs in the front seat of a Vette and left it for 2 months. Then they tried to clean it. Best bet is for an enzyme based cleaner that helps break down the molecules. They ended up giving up and even had a hard time selling the thing afterwards.
If you see the forums on their site you'll see why nobody is believing this guy. The main problems are. -He tested the hardware using windows 95 running under a VM emulator. (Emulates a SB16?) -He posted a second edition of the article when this was pointed out which claimed that could boot Win95 with this brand new hardware using dual boot. Hrmmm did Win95 even support AGP. (He since denied the second version but an astute user found both posts in their own search engine) -He says that certain distro's won't work. (ie Suse) but not which version. 5 or 10? -He refused to say what kind of new hardware he supposedly ran Win95 on out of the box

"I seen stock as well."
Should say I've seen 360's in stock as well.
Here are the official sales numbers. Not shipped units.

You should tag it as FUD since it obviously is. 200 gig is far bigger then 51 gig.
It is not true. Manu producers are blu-ray exclusively.

Actually it'a YES. Pokerroom.com works great. Uses java and is pretty much the same as partypoker.
Never had any problems with it.
Plus it's running under vmware
