Re: New to Blu? Buy a PS3: the most featured BD hardware available...


Quote:
Thanks, David. My main problem with picking up a PS3 is temptation. I buy too many movies and games as it is. Right now, it's easy to not pick up PS3 games, since I don't have a PS3, and the same would be true if I went Blu-Ray standalone. But the minute I picked up a PS3 for Blu-Ray playback, the temptation to pick up some of the PS3-exclusive games starts. And it's something that objectively I know I just don't need.

Hah!

Can't help you there.

Funny because I've had the PS3 since since it was first release and I have yet to buy a SINGLE game!

BTW, unlike the 360 add-on, the PS3 is a true "stand alone" BD player... a single-box solution just with gaming capability (the only "gaming" aspect for BD movie watchers is the unorthodox shape and increased fan-noise to cool the cell processor versus a "regular" BD player). It cues up and plays a BD movie or DVD when you insert, has full HDMI for video and audio with no hic-ups, has the fastest load-time of any BD player on the market, great DVD upscaling, and has an optional blue-tooth remote for those who don't want to use the game controler for movie use. All of this means that it's as easy, straight-forward, and high-performance as a regular BD player (ie, the significant other can use it while you're not around without calling you for instructions).
