| Re: Sony PS3 - A good choice of Blu ray player? Yes, but the 60GB models (if they are similar to the ones here in the US) were more prone to hardware difficulties and louder fan noise (definitely can be an issue for movies). I know that my 60GB that I owned definitely was loud and had all sorts of bugs with the HDMI picture output. I returned it since I expected more out of a $600 investment. @selina of the standalones the Panny is the only one I would recommend. Don't touch the Samsungs with a 10 foot pole. The Sony and the Sharp are decent but not nearly as good as the Panny. If you go with the PS3 I would definitely pick up the 40GB model as it is cheaper and will be quieter. The only real bonus to the 60GB version is being backwards PS2 compatible, although there are a few titles that it has issues with. |
