How To Get The Best (And Cheapest) Blu-ray Player

Has anybody done this ? .. Just wondering

Thursday, April 3, 2008 by mike b1954 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

When Sony's Blu-ray defeated Toshiba's HD DVD player in the high-definition media format war, it seemed like life would get easier for consumers.

But figuring out what to hook up to an HD television is still far from a cakewalk as at least three different variations on the Blu-ray standard have emerged.

Thankfully there is a simple answer, although it's not one that Sony  likes to advertise:

Buy a PlayStation 3 !

~  It's not only the most advanced technology, it's plain cheaper than getting a standalone Blu-ray player.

Just for point of reference about 3oo dollars get a blue-ray player that integrates to home theater PC's.

On another note the nvidia card in a PS3 is nearly $750 if purchased straight from the manufacturer.Sony gets it at the price they do volume!

You really need to check out the cost of proper Blu-ray players before recommending a PS-3
