blu ray player reviews image

I am considering getting something to upscale normal DVDs for a new 47' 1080p HDTV. I have looked at Blu Rays for a while and have recently read that they make normal DVDs look better. If so, would normal DVDs look better on a Blu Ray player or an upscaler?
P.S. Do you have any suggestions on brands or models of Blu Ray players or upscalers?
Answer
It depends on the blu ray player some blu ray players are better at up-scaling than others....read the reviews for the player your thinking of buying to see how it does...blu ray players that get high ratings for up-scaling include some models from Panasonic Pioneer and LG what I have noticed also is that the more expensive models not only have better blu ray rendition but also do up-scaling better also, another thing I have noticed is when blu ray first came out it was a hot topic how well the blu ray player could upscale, lately its not mentioned as much anymore...

Why buy a blu-ray player if you have a PlayStation 3?

I don't understand why people would buy a stand-alone blu-ray player when the when (up to this point) the Playstation 3 has been cheaper. It seems like they are paying more for a product that can do less. Can the stand-alone blu-ray players do more then the blu-ray player on the playstation 3? If so, how much better is it?
Answer
Actually I beg to differ with some of the comments above.
Yes true, having a stand alone blu-ray player might last longer as it is dedicated to only playing bluray as opposed to the PS3 being a gaming system. But what PS3 has to offer outside of bluray playback is vastly better from gaming, storing videos, music, and browsing the internet.
Setbacks:
No remote control (not a big factor in my opinion, you can get the $25 bluray remote)
No dedicated chip set (Ps3 playback uses the Cell processor)
If you actually looked up reviews with PS3 vs. stand alone, its actually BETTER than most stand alone blu-ray players out there at a performance per cost stand point.

The fact that the PS2 did have issues of freezing and worse picture quality with DVD playback, does not mean it will be just the same on the PS3. There's been no hard evidence of PS3's breaking down due to bluray, more than any other piece of electronic equipment. And yes I'm sure there have been minor issues with bluray, but thats consumer electronics for you...besides, the PS3 is cheaper.
"Can the stand-alone blu-ray players do more then the blu-ray player on the playstation 3?"
No. The only difference in play back is that the PS3 uses Cell, and stand alone have a dedicate chip to decode bluray. There is no loss in quality.
Hope this helps.
Honestly, I'm sure no one who has a PS3, bought a stand alone as well...unless it were for different rooms. =)
