PS3 and HDTV\'s.............

it\'s like buying a portable CD-player when there are MP3 player out there. Why would you want to buy something that is already outdated ?

most HD Brodcast are in 1080i and will look better on a 1080p then 720p. All BR movie are 1080p.. comming games will all be 1080p.

IMO, pay the price and you won\'t regret it down the road

I\'m sure Luckee wouldn\'t think twice about spending an extra couple hundred to get 3 extra horsepower.

Cd player might be outdated but they are better than mp3 player in the area is that CD sound is uncompressed while mp3 is lossy compressed.

CDs are still uses by many, and if they don\'t have a portable cd player, buying one right now isn\'t a bad idea if they want to use it to listen directly from the disc instead from IPOD that requires a computer and a bit of know-how to use it to transfer to CD...sure it\'s simple to many of us.  But many older generation people would be clueless on what these products are.

beside, some people are old-fashion that they uses CD, and even my mom only listen to the radio.  She told me she used to listen to vinyl records back in the days.  But since the introduction of audio cassettes and CD player.  She isn\'t familiar with it and aren\'t interested in it.  She does know how to use audio cassette tape, but rarely though.  It\'s not until recently about a week ago is when I showed her how to use a CD in a CD player it\'s when she\'s started to liking it.

well, some broadcasts are 720p though and will be for many years.  Like FOX, ABC, UPN are some that are 720p.

The price different between a 720p and 1080p set of the same size is only a few hundred bucks.  So, that is a better buy compare to few years back where the difference are over a $1,000 to $4,000+.

Hey heres a novel idea, go to a store with both TV\'s and decide with your own eyes if its worth that extra 500 bucks.  Listening to a bunch of tools argue about shit they really don\'t know much about online isn\'t very smart.

you\'re right, his eyes and mental judgment will follow a chart that was made by some other dude with a different set of eyes and mental judgment.

are you one of the commonfolk that cannot see the difference between 60hz and 85hz on a monitor?  perhaps there\'s a chart for this.

I understand you must be a stick in the mud and find something to argue about every two seconds. But please, quit trying to argue common sense and facts. The whole friggin\' industry knows this stuff, but you have to go against the grain, just because you\'re naturally a dumb asshole.

Never mind science and facts

claiming that everyone sees the same way because some chart or "friggin industry" claims it so is not "fact" or "common sense".
it\'s speculation.
inserting "the average person" in every statement you make would be more accurate.

ready for another display of immaturity and frustration, LIC?
i enjoyed it the last time.

Well smart guy...most stores (if any) do not have a ps3 running 720p and 1080p side by side.(which was criteria BTW)

Listening to a tool spout off that hasn\'t read the original post or entire thread isn\'t very smart.

Take your cheap shots elsewhere.

Speculation?  Right.  You know how there\'s those people out there that can see through walls, they really buck the trend...  

This same thought process probably has you comparing 1080p blu ray to 720p cable.  





PS  luckee, I don\'t know what stores you\'re going to but I can name four in my area that have that setup.  Shitty market I guess

You\'re the one asking the OPINION of a few people online who for all you know are full of shit to determine whether or not you should sink an extra 400 dollars.  You deserve all the cheap shots I can throw.

i guess we are bored and has nothing much to do, and this forums is pretty much vacant, so having some conversation here and there to past time isn\'t a bad idea.  Even if the questions doesn\'t seem that hard to answer.

Not frustrated, just amazed how someone can be so hard headed they ignore all facts and science behind something.

Do whatever you have to do to support your agenda, even if everyone that reads it knows you\'re a bumbling idiot.

when did everyone\'s eyes and mental perception become "facts and science", especially on teh internets?

as long as i can pull your strings for my agenda, LIC  

I have a PS3 hooked to my 1080p set, and I can tell the difference between it and a 720p one.  I really would recommend going with the 1080p.  If it\'s close whether you wanna go that way now, then it\'ll start leaning more and more in the direction of the 1080p set as the years go on and there are more and more things you see a noticeable difference on.  

You might be happy with saving a couple hundred dollars now, but you\'ll be buying something you might regret down the road.
