I REFUSE To Watch Movies on a CD Player!

[PIHB]

i like the fact my ps3 plays cds, thats one less electronics item i can keep from owning to keep the clutter down. i like the fact the ps3 is such a home entertainment system. nothing like listening to the living legends on surround sound.


i also love when people create threads just to hear themselves talk

What about your bluray/sony fanboyism? "ZOMG THE PS3 IS PERFECT ALL MUST BUY PS3'S AND MAKE LOVE THEM!!!"... Dude, calm the hell down, what is the matter with you? Why must everyone want a PS3? You know what, when I decided to buy into bluray I did so with a BD-P1400 last december and I did so because it was on sale, and I don't regret my choice. My player does what I wanted it too, I've been enjoying DTS-HD/MA since I bought a receiver capable of handling lossless audio, and the speed is generally acceptable. For games? My priority was x-box as far as high def consoles because of the Halo series, I'd like a PS3 for gaming eventually, but not until I can afford on with BC...

All that typing just to say HD DVD fanboys are also cheap. You "can't" afford a new superior technology to DVD yet 10 years ago people were buying DVD players for more than what BD players cost today. Further, HD DVD failed because HD DVD fanboys were so cheap that once they got their dirt cheap firesold players and cashed in the free discs they STOPPED buying any more media. Meanwhile the more expesnive players sold MORE units than you fanboys could convince your friends to pick up for $200 of less PLUS BD outsold HD DVD dics wekk in and out. HD DVD was the cheap HD alternative HFM format which FAILED to outsell BD yet you fanboys keep going on and on about how great a value it was. Time to grow up, get a real job and get over the $200 cheap ass fuck pricepoint you fry-jerks think is acceptable for HDM. Bet you all believe Mercedes should be selling cars for 12K to huh.

As for the PS3, well again HD DVD fanboy logic comes into play. BD SA players do less than the PS# therefor less is what they want (for the price their Walmart greeter jobs can afford them that is). Funny how many HD DVD fanboys on this very site only had the 360 add-on, or bought it first and then grabbed a drop-our-pants Toshiba player with free discs on firesales....

Anything to make you feel better about your post format war saber rattling, eh? Honestly, for the multitude of shit-talking that you do, one would think you were the first adopter of Blu-ray and knew from day one what it would all come down to in the end.

Valid reasons why folks might not want a PS3:
1) Gaming is already provided by the Wii and/or 360 and there is simply not enough time in the day or interest in a third console to add it to the pile.
2) The remaining few limitations (lack of IR, no analog outs and the lack of REON or similar for upconversion).
3) Dual format fans (not format whores like yourself) who want to save on HT space real estate and have the convenient playback of BOTH high def formats in a single player.
4) Aesthetics as already mentioned elsewhere.

Just come off your fucking high horse already, chief.

Well I for one never got a PS2 as a DVD player. So why would I do the same for PS3? I've had several bad experiences with Bluetooth issues so I don't really want to buy a separate remote either.

See how fuckin' stupid that sounds?

Yeah, I agree, you sound stupid.

The comparison of the PS3, a blue ray player which can also play games, to a DVD player which also plays CDs is dishonest and misleading.

The videogame part of the PS3 is the main part, which chews up most of the power and the cost of production.

To characterize the PS3 as an innocent blueray player.... which also plays games. What a load of nonsense. How many other standalone Blueray players:
"cost five times as much to run as an average-sized refrigerator."

Spot on post Fett! When you get this many replies from the usual suspects, in this short of time, you know you've hit the nail on the head.
