Deciding between a ps3(just for the blu ray) or an exclusive blu ray player?

Question

I really do not want the ps3 for ANY type of gaming but i notice the pricetag is similar to other blu ray players and sometimes even cheaper. Are there any differences in picture/video quality between the ps3 and a sony/sharp/panny blu ray player?? Can someone enlighten me please.

Answer 1

go for ps3..

Answer 2

Get a dedicated blu-ray player, even if it costs a few more $$.

The PS3 does many things ok but not a single thing great.

Answer 3

Coming from someone that has a PS3, I would buy the player, even if you don't plan on playing games right now, the PS3 does everything and more that a Blu-Ray player does, is less expensive, and STILL plays games!  It's the better deal.

Answer 4

i would go with the ps3, it does so much more, even if you are not a gamer. you can chat, store pics, videos, go on line..

Answer 5

Get the PS3. There is NO difference in picture quality. The PS3 lacks the ability to decode one type of audio (I forget which). Other than that its a fantastic Blu-ray player that gets updated regularly. You can also download free 1080p movie trailers from Sony's online store. Just think that you're getting the game system for free!
