At last, we have a winner. Now that the format war is over, I imagine players will come down as people will start buying them now that a winner has been declared. Glad I didn't jump on the screaming deals they've had on the players over the last month. I kinda thought it may be a sign of what was to come. _________________ MrLiNcH Member Location: Cincinnati, OH Joined: Feb 14, 2007  || Posts: 643     Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2008 7:19 pm  ps3 is not only the cheapest blu ray player, but also the most future proof player since the bluray standard is not set in stone. and also just the best player (other players have issue's with compatibility and speed). _________________ "You´re a mean one....

I feel sorry for anyone who bought one of these. _________________ NaughtyGeek Clan Leader Location: Philly Burbs Joined: Oct 06, 2006  || Posts: 1532     Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2008 7:42 pm  MrLiNcH wrote: ps3 is not only the cheapest blu ray player, but also the most future proof player since the bluray standard is not set in stone. and also just the best player (other players have issue's with compatibility and speed). There are several players available for the same price as the PS3, but why pay the same money for less product? That doesn't count the drives you can get for your PC which are down around 200 bones now. Right now, if you're going Blu Ray, the PS3 is the way to go. Online firmware updates FTW! _________________ DanTesla1 T3 4 Life Location: Jamison, PA Joined: Feb 25, 2007  || Posts: 1149     Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2008 7:53 pm  for those of you interested in burning your own bluray discs... http://us.lge.com/products/model/detail/computer%20products_optical%20drives_optical%20drives_GGW-H20L.jhtml _________________ #t3gaming :: #clutchkill :: #scrimdods :: #fragdods :: #invitedods Delta1880 Member Location: NJ/WV Joined: Jun 10, 2006  || Posts: 582     Posted: Wed Feb 20, 2008 5:36 pm  I have the XBOX hd drive its awesome but its sad i picked the wrong one... but at my house in NJ we have a blueray its a sharp for 299.99 at best buy _________________ Feedback Clan Leader Location: Indianapolis,IN Joined: Jun 24, 2006  || Posts: 1972     Posted: Fri Feb 22, 2008 1:20 pm  http://www.compusa.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=3304908&sku=T24-9148&SRCCODE=COMEM011 heres a hell of a deal on a hd player with 7 free hd movies. I know it's dead but you can still use it as a up converting dvd player. I'm sure we will see more deals like this. _________________ Thumbnail, click to enlarge.         T3 Gaming Community Forum Index » Hardware     Page 1 of 1   All times are GMT - 6 Hours   Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Jump to: Select a forum Website----------------Forum Rules & InformationAnnoucementsSuggestion BoxReport Problems Servers----------------Server DiscussionBanned DisputeCustom MapsSubmit A Demo Clan Discussion----------------Member ReviewScrimsMatch/Scrim Results Random Discussion----------------Off Topic DiscussionSportsMoviesMusicGamesFunny StuffArtwork Computer Tech----------------Your RigNew StuffSoftwareHardware Recruiting----------------IntrosTF2DOD:SCS:SKill Shit/Have Fun!COD  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Custom Theme by Ped, Clan Themes Copyright © 2007
