panasonic blu ray player 85 image
Kris C
Is it better or worse? I'm waiting to buy a PS3 until Kingdom Hearts 3 is announced but right now we need a Blu-ray player and if i can get a PS3 with the same quality as a regular Blu-Ray Player, it'll save me time and money. Plus there are some great games i would love to play currently on PS3. so... do Blu-Ray players today have better quality than the PS3?
Answer
PS3 ($399) is one of the best blu ray disc player in the market today in the entry level. The other is the Panasonic BD-85 (around $250). Then the higher end you can go to the OPPO, which is around the $500 range. Go online to Home Theater Magazine and read the reviews on blu ray disc players. I own a first generation player from Panasonic model BD-10, which is 4 years old and have had no problems at all playing over 300 blu ray disc movies. Hope this will help you out.

i currently have a panasonic viera tv and i am looking to replace my old dvd with an updated one.i have heard a bit about these hd recordable dvd's but wondered what may be best suited to my tv?i was also thinking of getting a surround sound system,is there a model which might do all?
also as they seem to update these things as quick as you can buy one,is there one that may stand the test of time for a few years to come
Answer
Go with Blu-Ray.The war is really over. It will work fine with any HDTV you get now.
As of Fridays announcement that Warner would make only BD movies after May '08, the winner of the war has been declared. Blu-Ray. I thought it might take a year for it to happen but now I think it will be VERY soon that HD DVD closes up shop.
HD DVD was hit hard and is scrambling to recover. They were surprised by Warners move to back BD and even cancelled the HD DVD event at this years CES.

Warner chose to do this because Blu-Rays have outsold HD DVDs 2-1.
Many people beleive that this spells the end of HD DVD and a win for BD, me among them

Furthermore Paramount has a clause in their contract allowing them to pull out of HD DVD in the event that Warner went Blu-Ray exclusive. Well since that happened expect Paramount (and of course Dreamworks) to switch to BD. This leaves only Universal for HD DVD. (Giving BD about 85% of the movies being made in Hollywood.)
I know that HD DVD will fight back. Expect great deals and free offers from HD DVD. But realistically the war is over.
Ultimately the only way for consumers to win is for one of them to win so that all of the studios will make HD movies in a format accessable to everyone. I also expect that once Blu-Ray wins (or HD DVD if that happens) you will see second and third tier manufacturers to make players driving the price to $100 by 2009-1010. Funai just announce one for $299.
They have to make this happen or the window is going to close and internet HD movies are going to take over before BD has a chance to flourish. LG and Netflick have already announced an internet movie device and VUDU's machine is already available.
Buy now or buy later but buy Blu-Ray.
As far as standing the test of time goes, PS3 updates automatically if you are connected to the internet but they all have the ability to accept firmware updates by downloads burned to disc. Get one that is 1.1 compliant like the panasonic or all the models scheduled for release in 2008 including Funai's $299 model.
