I see it and find it hard to believe but the Wii still sells out here at a local Best Buy in Southern California. Week in - Week out, for the past year. 

It's like this console is falling into a massive consumer black hole. 
I imagine what goes in will come out in two years en masse cheap at same consumer yard sales - name your price.

I have both Blu-Ray and an HD player for my 360. I can say from personal experience the picture quality produced through my 360 is very good (in some cases better, with regard to color banding) when compared to my Samsung Blu-Ray player. Needless to say I was a bit suprised by the comments... 

Note the Update below, quoted from the review site for those that didn't actually read the whole article.

"Update: We spoke to an HD DVD professional, and he told us there were problems with this review. Apparently, the HQV discs are making players (even top of the line players) fail de-interlacing tests, which is pretty much all the disc does. What the reviewer should have done is test image quality, which would have made the Xbox 360 HD DVD player just about as good as the other standalone HD and BD players. The man we talked to didn't say much about DVD, however."
