Comment - Toshiba's $249 Blu-ray player vs. $299 PS3: The choice is obvious
(Sep 9, 2009 - 2:06 PM)

Purchase a PS3? Ridaculous! why would you spend the 50$ more especially when using it just to play movies.. and it doesnt even come with a remote.
I have a PS3, it collects dust in comparison to the 360, its laughable that someone would actually buy disk based media anymore for movies with a 9$ unlimited Netflix account and a stream based ISP (broadband).

As for Toshiba I am not surprised they have decided to support this media, I would like to believe that their decision is based on availablity for their notebooks. I don't know anyone (and I am serious about this) that has purchased a notebook with bloray compliant hareware included.

Umm I don't think he is the only one. The pice has been over priced for a while now and people keep telling them that they aren't willing to pay that much for it especially with their main competitor outselling them in the gaming market and their console cheaper. I still can't believe I paid full price for the system (which is collecting dust btw).

@ Terminalx if your paying 300 bones for a bloray player your overpaying, and as for a "media server" I bet there are less expensive options on the market.

Dark: If all I do is cry all you do is stroke Sony.
Bloray does bother me why? The price! the lies!
Do I loose sleep over this? NO but I can't help but think every time I see something about Bloray and Sony and the BDA especially when it concerns numbers or sales and the scuttle bug between friends and the impartial media (the ones not in Sonys pocket (which Betanews doesn't seem to be)isn't ever about wow that was a mind blowing blodisk movie. Its easier to believe that its only the people invested in this tech and their fanbois (YOU) who have nothing but good things to say about it. Like I have said I have a POS3 it collects dusts.. why because the movies I own for it are few (lack of a decent library) and as for the games.. sorry Xbox owns that front for exceptional titles and ease of gameplay.

Finally Dark if this helps you and your fellow Sony Fanbois to sleep easier because of the 1 victory (the first for a long while) behing the successor of HD disk based tech because of all those other bitter failures.. Kudos to you.. sleep comfy in that basement.

Same old SONY and BDA hype. Tell me where are these actual numbers instead of the crap you continue to present to the media. I find it surprising that despite limber sales of BD in comparison to DVD that you still present record sales of a technology that continues to deflate expectations. Then I remember your surprised at any sales you have of anything because your SONY. The intelligent amoung us will continue to do what we have for the past 2 years. View video through ON Demand HD and purchase DVD's to play in our upconverting players. You continue on this road that leads to no where and when 3D tech comes up and swallows more of the consumer base you can twiddle your thumbs and try and spark sales with less than average numbers.

I remember the day when EA used to make decent games worth buying. Their problem is they don't take the time required to engineer a decent game. I agree that any of their past victories in the game market over 3 years have been because of someone elses idea and EA comes along and swallows up whole the company that created it. Their problems isnt that they dont have the manpower its the people in charge don't have a clue on what makes a game tick.
