PS3 Slim blu-ray player

New PS3 slim will be a perfect gift for Christmas.
They could’ve copy Microsoft by charging us $400.00+ tax to pay for 250GB Version of our favorite gaming consoles.Yet they decide to make this cheaper.Price is a really big factor for me and my friends.Sure 500 Gig hard drive is next. But there is always some kind of a problem.Now I have a small 40 G version.Just sitting there deleting demos and save games data just to free up some space on my HDD to play those newest games. At this time I will be able toupload all the games back again.

A lot of people don’t know how to replace hard drive on their PC or console.They also don’t realize how easy it is to stream media from their computer to their system, negating the need for a bigger hard drive.When they see the $50 price difference it is going to look like a killer deal.

I personally upgrade PS3 only because my Rock Band song library didn’t fit on my old 20Gb. My friend upgraded to a PS3 slim and I got 40gig console from him and it was big enough for now. How needs to keep all the demos anyway? Download it later when you need it again. Maybe just buy a game if you like the demo so much. Anyway, nice to see Sony announcing another version of their game systems.

It is common knowledge today that the main force driving the adoption rate of the Blu-ray format is Sony PlayStation 3. But, main question that really has given a few sleepless nights to many people who decided to purchase their first Blu-ray player was whether Sony’s gaming console PS3 was really the best device for playing Blu-ray movies or not. Looks like now we have got a pretty much a definitive answer to this question, courtesy of a very interesting comparative benchmark by Blu-ray.com.

The website (which is not related to the Blu-ray Disc Association, meaning that it’s probably not interested in promoting one particular company’s interests) took some of the most popular standalone Blu-ray players on the market and benchmarked them, following certain specific criteria. The models in question were the Sony PS3 (40GB and 80 GB), Insignia NS-2BRDVD, LG BD300, Olevia BD100, Panasonic BD35, Panasonic BD55, Pioneer BDP-51FD, Pioneer Elite BDP05FD, Samsung 2550, Sharp HP21U, Sony 350 and Sony 550.

The tests carried out on these machines were related to pretty much every important aspect of their operation. We’re talking about disc eject times, movie load times (Basic, BD-J and BD+ modes), BD-J (Java) overall performance when playing the Java content, BD-J small and large object performance, as well as BD-J scaling and opacity performances.

The results were a bit surprising, to tell the truth, since they proved that actually, Sony’s PS3 was pretty much THE best Blu-ray player out there, out-performing each and every one of its competitors in just about all of the tests mentioned above. Add that to the extra functionality it provides and Sony’s claims that the PS3 is all that one needs within ones home entertainment center don’t seem that far fetched anymore, especially given the fact that the price tag of the PS3 is actually lower than those of many of its competitors from the test.
