x2 the cheapest blu-ray player i found was around $900 :eek:

Well for those 15 people looking to spend $900 on a Blue-Ray player - yes, the PS3 will be a good deal. For everyone else it’s one god damn expensive DVD player/video game machine.

blue ray is the next “BETA”. does anyone remember the vhs/beta battle? Sony sucks at this and already lost once, they will lose again. The playstation vs xbox as far as graphics and gaming is close, if you want the playstation because it’s a blue ray player, you’re wasting your money because it will probably never take off. IMHO

i had a huge debate on this in another thread casue someone was trying to act like they knew something about it…feel free to check it out…tons of info & data in that old thread
is there a chance it could not take off…yes but same with HD-DVD
if your saying HD-DVD is like VHS & blueray is like Beta…maybe we’ll have to wait & see
but if you look @ the numbers… blueray \> HD-DVD storage size etc…
also…a lot of people thought that PSP movies would die but they have stayed in retail.
one advantage sony&blueray have over xbox & HD-DVD is this…
the PS3 drive is blueray reader…where the XBOx is not a HD-DVD reader, you must buy the add-on drive.
SO…Sony has the capability to create games on a blueray disc…not that any game in the close future will have enough data fill a blueray disc…but the potential is there…i’m sure there will be games soon that will be testing the limitations if a DVD disc.
XBOX is bound by DVD size as far as games where PS3 has the blueray capability.

yep, it’s my opinion. I don’t think blue ray will catch on.

Who lives near Shady Side to go investigate? The fact that he is asking to meet in person for it makes me wonder. If it was a blatant scam you would think he’d be asking for credit card info or PayPal.
But ‘early shipment’ throws up the BS flag pretty fast too…

Good point.
But I did say ‘investigate’ - not ‘buy’. Go there with NOTHING on you and see :mrT:
But if it was legit, I would think they’d be gone rather quick - except for the fact that you can’t get games yet.

PS3 has HDMI
i’m just going by the side by side comparison on paper.
we won’t know for sure till they are both out & can be test, but PS3 has a slight edge on paper.
```
Ps3
```
3.2GHz Cell w/ 7 SPEs
2.0 TFLOPS
Xbox
3.2GHz G5 w/ 3 Cores
1.0 TFLOPS
ps3 has designated memory for system & video
256MB XDR @ 3.2GHz
256MB GDDR3 @ 700MHz
Xbox has shared memory between the 2
512MB GDDR3 @ 700MHz
PS3
550MHz NVIDIA
xbox
500MHz ATi
Ps3
Best Display 1080p Standard
Dual Screen Output
xbox
1080i Optional
Single Screen Output
Ps3
1000BASE-T Ethernet
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
xbox
100BASE-TX Ethernet
Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g
Audio = same 5.1 Digital
Wireless Input
ps3
x7 on Bluetooth 2.0
xbox
x4 on 2.4GHz RF
they are very similar but if you had to give the edge just looking on paper Ps3 would probably be the choice.
