playstation 3 as a blu ray player - any good?

[Tatsujin]

thank you guys i will definitely buy it

Everytime I see your avatar, I keep telling myself to watch that anime. It's 2 seasons to what I recall. I forgot the name of it but I can get it out of my HDD really quick ... lets see, Nevermind ... what was it called again?

[Klocknov]

My avatar has my next anime to watch. My current one I'm working on is S2 of Huruhi (of course with S1 mixed in)

[Spanks]

You all can fist fight over Slims and those 80GBs and what not. I've got the best PS3 version, the 60GB. 4x USB, plays all PS1 and 2 games. Heater in the winter. Ah forgot what else it can do.

Btw, PS3 is the best blu-ray player due to it's updates, and having CELL as the core processor. It's so pretty ...

Dam you, they discontinued the PS2 playing PS3 over here not long after it came out so I missed out on getting it.

We actually had to get on train to be able to buy a 60gb ps3. There were none around here even second hand.

Not making the newer versions back compatible is the only thing that pissed me off about the ps3. But not to worry, my 8 year old heavily used PS2 still works. But playing ps2 games on ps3 would of meant I wouldn't have to worry about my 8 year old controllers or memory cards dieing and trying to find second hand ones and the games would load quicker

[kurandoinu]

We have a ps2 as well. I think buying the 60gb was just because they're becoming rather rare now. And its nice to have everything in one package. (Might magic the ps2 to my  studio and watch DVDs on it...)

I have to tell you this.  I'm an Audiophile at heart, and I would have never have bought a PS3 as a blu-ray Player, but now the new one has the DTS decoder built in and the Master audio Pass through i'm a fan.

IF you are a HT nut like me.  The New Slim Line is the only way to go.  Plus it run a lot cooler and it has nearly NO fan noise.  Which is BOSS!!

._.;; There's too many good features in the PS3, I fail.

ARGH why doesn't mine have these features, is the DTS decoder and audio pass able to be firmware updated or are they hardware capabilities.

DTS decoder? I thought even DVD players have those. All PS3 should have that, to be able to play blu-Rei and DVDs.

I dont know, but what I do know is DTS audio doesnt work on my PS3.

They're the exact reasons my boyfriend wanted a different bluray player. Thing is he doesn't want to get rid of his 60gb one now.

Yes, a standard DVD player does Standard DTS and Dolby Digital, but it is not able to do HD Audio or bitstream.  The old PS3 had to decdode  DTS Master Audio and and Dolby Digital True HD instead of passing it though to the reciever directly.  The New Slim Line is able to do true pass through with bitstreaming as well as use Linear PCM cababilities.  This provides more fucitionality and taxes the processor less allowing the system to load and run faster.  For those who don't know with DTS Maser Audio and Dolby Digital True HD you can recieve up to double the amount of audio through a Medium-High (6.6 Gb/s) to High (10+ Gb/s) HDMI cable.  

With the new bitstreaming ablities of the PS3 Slim to pass audio directly to the reciever where there is 0 loss of data from the disk to the receiver.  This creates added clarity especailly for anybody who is an audiophile like myself, or running a cable for more than 12 feet(assuming it is a high quality cable, not the 4 foot Piece of Crap you picked up a Wal-mart for 30 bucks).  Even with a digital signal you can recieve loss, this shows up as artifacts or blocking on the Picture or/and as echoes, pops, rings and static in the audio.  Most noticable in explosions and quiet/dramtic sences.  Or, if you are in my boat, loss of musical instruments from the auido encode.  Granted if you aren't using a full surround system or quality speakers, you are going to get the audio flaws anyway through defeciencies in the equipment.  

And yes, you can get concerts and Music in HD Audio codecs, so don't say you cannot

LoL, what else am i going to do with it?  I don't need more than one player, and Who would need more than one TV when you live by yourself?

[Path]

Even I toppled under the pressure and ordered one. Too good of a deal to pass up on now, really, provided you have the funds readily available.

You guys seen the FF12 slim version?

Buy me one tatsujin and ship it to me.
