No. I won\'t pay buy. Have no problem with saying that.

Oh and unless I wasn\'t clear, I won\'t buy a blu-ray player until they are around $100 dollars. I certainly won\'t buy a PS3 for it\'s blu-ray playback, espically after the piss-poor DVD playback.

No big loss there.

Isn\'t that comments is like contradicting itself there?

If you say PS2 have poor dvd playback, you think a $100 stand-a-lone Blu Ray player will outperform the PS3 on blu ray movies playback?

PS2 = Piss Poor DVD playback.

$100 dollar DVD players had better playback.

It\'s a fact.

Will the same apply to the Blu-Ray? Maybe not, but I won\'t bother gambling on it.

this wasn\'t true when the PS2 launched, but is more then true today.

bluray is supposed ot be superior early on in the PS3 thanks to the CELL and RSX

I\'m sure future bluray DVD players will include cell technology, but early on the PS3 bluray will eb superior, and thats what we wnat until we can pick up a cheap bluray player with superior features

Eh?
I remember plenty of driver and firmware updates just so that the PS2 could playback a lot of COMMON movie\'s. I have no need to go through that again.

What...about..neither?
I am not paying $400 dollars for a console just because it has Blu-Ray. When I buy console, I want it for one thing and that is gaming, therefor, I don\'t want to pay an extra $100 or more for a feature I consider useless. If I decide to jump on the Blu-Ray bandwagon, I\'ll wait until the players are reasonably priced.

Well if you already have the PS3 that can play Blu-Ray, wouldn\'t you be a little curious and pick up a movie or two to try on it?

So, you would rather play games using the DVD format instead of spending a bit more for the Blu Ray format for games.

If a console support blu ray for games, then it\'s not going to cost anymore for Blu Ray Video playback.

In your view, how much should a stand-a-lone blu ray players should cost that you consider it it to be reasonably priced?  $100 or less won\'t cut it.  Expect questionable video processing quality and questionable video accuracy.  Not to mention crappy remote control, possibly slow response like skipping chapter, fast fowarding, rewinding, going directly to menu, etc...

Too funny, I never had a problem. Bought the remote downloaded the driver and watched movies.

I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. I bought a stand alone DVD player 3 years after the PS2 for $80 that destroys the PS2\'s capablities, but this was 3 years later.


I\'ll be all over the PS3 on launch day PS3 just for the games and system, but it will be nice to have a bluray player ready to go when the bluray dvd\'s become available ot rent.

y\'know i gotta be honest..i\'ve never had any problems with the dvd playback on the ps2. works fine to me. but i know i\'m not gonna front 400 - 600 for a new system. my limit with consoles is the 300 mark...regardless of the technology.

I can see this not happening. Its pointless to make it do one and not the other. They\'ll shoot themselves in the foot with that.
