just wondering,xtra vision selling a sony bluray player and giving 6 bluray films with it for only 250euro,i looked it up and its pretty good player,any body else see this,it was in the sunday world yesterday.
Didn't see it myself, but just wondering how much better it is than the one that comes with the PS3...if they are pretty similar, it might be better value to go for the PS3 for value...just a thought...
Yeah its a brill offer the blue ray player is good too but throw in a bit extra and you get the PS3 and the blue ray player built in this is the best deal IMO
Hi Was chatting with a mate recently, who reckoned buying the PS3 was still the best way to go, not just because of the Games machine being included for similiar money, but also because he said there was some handy additional ports / connections on the PS3 which were not on most other blueray players. Im not really up to speed on this kinda stuff, but did find the spec here for a PS3 if anyone wants to run the eye over it: http://www.ps3rules.com/ps3-specs.htm From a quick glance, things like the following might be handy: USB Front x 4, Rear x 2 (USB2.0) Memory Stick standard/Duo, PRO x 1 SD standard/mini x 1 CompactFlash (Type I, II) x 1 Ethernet (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T) x 3 (input x 1 + output x 2) Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b/g Bluetooth 2.0 (EDR) Bluetooth (up to 7) USB 2.0 (wired) Wi-Fi (PSP) Network (over IP) AV Output Screen size: 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p HDMI: HDMI out x 2 Analog: AV MULTI OUT x 1 Digital audio: DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL) x 1
do your research carefully, most of the standalone blu-ray players on the market are actually worse than the PS3 blu-ray in terms of speed and performance. For now, i reckon a PS3 is your best option and when the standalone players get better and cheaper, it'll be time to move onto one of them, especially if you intend on expoiting blu-ray's superior sound and as Garrett rightfully mentioned, the ps3 has great external media features.
next time you walk past a hmv go into it and see how much the average blue ray dvd costs, cause i think that will make your mind up for you
it would be but im a pc gamer plus the kids are getting the wii of santa,so i tink the ps3 would just be wasted plus i dont tink u can connect surround sound to it (can u).
