One-and-Only PS3 as Blu-Ray Player Thread - Page 15

Don't forget the charger kit for 360

Sorry, I don't follow on that one. Enlighten me.

That may not be true because alot of people have talked about the ps3 dropping price early in 2007 because of bluray becoming more mainstream and easier to produce. Also the Cell is supposed to be way cheaper to make in the upcoming 6 months after ps3 is released.

Do you mean a battery charger for the controllers?

The ps3 would have to be selling poorly of the price to drop within 6 monhths of the ps3's release.

If it still sells out at $599, I don't see why Sony would want to drop the price.

You for $100 for the WiFi adaptor on X360 if you want WiFi!

you might be right and if thats the case, then Sony may end up with the top console again. They funny thing is someone would pay $400 for a video IPOD then complain about $500 or $600 for a ps3.

Yep. PS3 doesn't need it as it can charge a wireless controller via a USB cable to PS3.

Damn xbox360 is looking expensive if you want wifi, rechargable batteries, a harddrive, vga or component, and an HDDVD drive. Even with all that msoft still hasn't promised HDMI.

ok, thanks. I was actually listing things needed for HD movie play back.

How about a wireless controller instead of a remote?

Won't it come with both?

an X360 Core + HD-DVD Addon and a Component cable is all you need to play HD movie playback.

Core doesn't come with an HD capable cable. VGA and Component cable are $40 each MSRP.

Component Cable $20 for XBox 360.

I wonder what Cables will come with the PS3?????

good to see non-MS brands at half the price. Still, I recommend buying the $399 xbox360 which includes component and composite as well as 20GB HDD so you don't have to buy one or memory card to save games. Also as well as having access to all 360 games with an HDD.

MS brand VGA and component $39.99:

Thanks for the reccomendation.

I'd rather wait though.

And I would save $20 on getting a non ms brand, thanks anyway!

Forget the PS3. I'm going with the Wii!


Wii Commercial

lol, I didn't have the sound on but I want the Wii too

many are leaning that way, and with many more units come XMas, nintendo says 5 Milllion, and over 20 launch titles, the Wii may clean up any left over people who can't pick up the ps3 due to short supplies.

Not too mention the far cheaper price for the wii.

Fun video, doesn´t it belong in the DVD forum since the Wii can´t play HD in any format :-)

PS3 real size Mock Up meeting the XBOX 360





The XBOX 360 hidden extra pounds (i guess the Wii would be kate Moss compared this?)

I was able to check out the Pioneer BDP-HD1 Blu-ray at Pioneers new showroom @ south coast plaza and i must say i was really disapointed....

I expected to see the real potential of this format but was underwhelmed to say the least.

This is the elite going for $1800 ? WTF? Picture quality looked only slightly better that the samsung... Definitely not worth the price....

Is it the codec? Or the format?

It's a wrong thread, sir... Unless you can specify what movie they were demo'ing your question is at the dead end anyway.

PS3 interface, tried searching for it but can't find it thoguh the search hopefully its not a repost

Drives don't spin down when data is constantly being accessed (as would be the case with a movie). He has no idea what he is talking about. The PS3 will play movies fine.

"Analyst: PS3 to win next-gen war
The Yankee Group predicts 30 million PS3s, 27 million Xbox 360s, and 11 million Wiis sold in North America by 2011. "


^^ Does anyone ever take any of these "analysts" stories seriously anymore, one way or the other?

4 million is pretty close all things considered.

But what he they say make sense:

I am totaly pro PS3 and BD, but this article is complete ********. There is simply no way someone can predict which console will prevail in the next few years considering that the x360 has not gained a sensible advantage, and the PS3 is not launched and no killer titles will be out any time soon. Right now, I would bet all three consoles will fail.(Wii has too little power, making it no better than current generation videogames - with unique control, x360 still is treated by developers as a PC clone - thanks to microsoft great software development tools, and the PS3 is too expensive given the competition - will have a rought start, although the hardware being sold IS worth the price... where is the software thou?)

And even the proposed market share actually indicates a tie, not a clear victory for PS3...
