Whats the cheapest Bluray player available that is 1080p/24 capable right now? Right now, not with a firmware upgrade.

The Sony.


Future Firmware update: PS3.

 

[Revolution2006]

I saw the Phillips Blu-Ray player was $549.99 on Amazon.com if you are looking for a stand alone player since the PS3 doesn't seem to exist at any stores. lol

The Phillips is not 1080p/24.

Holy xxxx, that must be your 10 million size innercity BB store

I can bet you you'll get mugged if you dont cover it well in the parking lot.

The Sony is no baloney. The Sony Blu Ray BDP-S1 processes 24fps and does a fine job of 1080P upconversion with SDDVD. Try looking at it with an XBR2 and you'll be impressed. I purchased a new BDP-S1 from EBAY for $700.00 and that price should be dropping steadily with the second generation units on their way to the stores.

Anyone have any idea when/if the PS3 will support 1080p/24?


Also anyone know if the PS3 supports (or ever will support) 480i over HDMI for DVD playback?


Sorry for the derailment...

 

[f1fever]

I'm not sure about the 24FPS but it does support 1080P via HDMI. The lowest res I ever try with HDMI is 720P not sure about 480i though.

The Sony at the affordable price of $999.

I was at Best Buy yesterday and got the PS3 20GB. They said they were not allowed to sell the 60GB yet. This implied to me that they have a bunch but were not selling them yet. Maybe a promotion is planned.

That is pretty lame. I walked into a Best Buy near my girlfriend's in Modesto, CA and walked out with a 60GB just a few days ago. They had no 20GB ones in stock. Now, in the Bay area I have yet to find a PS3 or Wii.

The Sony BDP-S300 and the Sony PS3 are tied at $499. Both offer 1080p24 output today.


If the $499 version of the PS3 is no longer available, then the BDP-S300 holds the crown.

The $499 is discontinued, but some people still carry them. I got one recently from GameStop online.

You can get the BDP-S300 for $449 new. I think this makes it the cheapest BD player at the moment. If the rumored price reduction of the PS3 actually happens, this may change.
