Blu-ray Player for Being the Best is ....
71What is best BlueRay Player?
If you want to watch a high definition DVD on your high definition TV, then it has to be a Blu-Ray Player, but which one to purchase? First it gots it's name because of the violet colored blue laser used to read and write on this type of disc. You can store six times the capacity of a two-layer DVD, or ten times of a single layer DVD. I want to know NOW!
Now that Toshiba pulled out of the HD DVD race, Blu-Ray is the winner hands down and Sony is one of the companies responcible for developing it with Philips. So it is no surprise after consumer reports and several other online websites that review products, finally agreed which is the best overall Blue-Ray player! It is the SONY Playstation 3 over all the major players on the market, go figure!!!!
Price: $400 Thumbs up: The PS3, which can be upgraded to Profile 2.0 via high-speed Internet, offers an excellent picture (1080p output via an HDMI port) and top sound quality (7.1 Dolby TrueHD audio). Even DVDs look great on this machine. Along with the Pioneer, it was the fastest we tested at loading movies. Thumbs down: You need an adapter to use a universal remote, as there's no infrared sensor. If you're over 30, you'll hate the joystick controller. Also, the PS3 eats power. The big picture: This isn't a toy - it outperformed or equaled pricier rivals. For the price, it can't be beat.
Not only do you get a high definition player for your TV, but you get a game system along with it for those boring evenings when you have nothing to do, definitely a win-win situation. But be sure to get the remote and high def cable to connect to your TV, when you purchase this honey!
I have visited several stores, such as Wal-Mart,Best Buy, Sears, Circuit City, Target and Comp USA, asking the same question: "What do you think is the quality Blu-Ray Disc Player on the market now?" You can tell the tech geeks, that love to read and learn about how many nano seconds fast or dot matrix resolution something is, that really do enjoy sharing their knowledge with you. I had all of them but one tell me to go with the Sony PlayStation 3, not just because it is also a game system, but there is no difference in the price of the game system when compared to the other players that are in the same league, when it comes to the better resolution players. If you want to use the Sony Playstation 3 for gaming also, then you might want to spend a little more to get a packaged bundle, like Block Buster is selling right now. It includes everything you need for high definition (special cable to your TV, remote, one game, one movie, 60 GB hard drive for memory, plus 12 weeks of Blu-Ray movie rentals to break your new system in), which I think sells for around $399.00.
