While the games on the X-Box 360 are HD I think one of Sony's points is that the 360 does not have either format of HD DVD drive in it. The drive is just a standard DVD drive. And since Microsoft always touts the X-Box as a multi-media platform not just a game counsle I believe that the arguement that it is not a true HD machine is valid. The Playstation 3 will be the only one of the next generation console to include a High Def DVD drive in it (at least at launch).
At least at stores like EB and gamestop the new release second hand games sell for a whole $5 off the price of new. And for that $5 off you get inevitably the worlds most scratched up games. I have bought about a total of 6 used games and 3 of them did not work and I had to take them back. My time of dealing with the hastle is worth more to me than the $5 savings.
For older games the price difference is a bit more, but then the games are more likely to be destroyed. I will never know how people get there disks so damaged.

You are more right than you know since the traditional Japaneese diet has almost no dairy in it at all.
