I have had a couple of their products and wouldn't give a plug nickel for anything with their name on. Just my opinion not Consumer Reports. <br />I haven’t made a Blu-Ray purchase yet, and while I was told the PS3 has a good picture, the controller was never mentioned – thanks.<br /> <br />RussRussBarnesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-77218958753247086912010-01-07T23:53:35.514-05:002010-01-07T23:53:35.514-05:00I'd say come down to Sarasota, but it's no...I'd say come down to Sarasota, but it's not any better here!

However, the controller is a clunky way to run a disc player, which is what it would get used for 99% of the time, and a "real" video remote is an extra-cost option. It can't be integrated with any universal remotes because it is not infrared. The DVD player does not upconvert, and Sony is behind the curve in available network content. Lastly, straight players have now edged the PS3 out on price; the LG is top of the line and comes out to less than a PS3 by the time you add the remote; perfectly good units without WiFi can be had for less than $150, and non-networked players for around $100. We're not gamers, so I suspect we'd never even buy a game title for the thing, either.<br /><br />@Niles: Sure, I understood that the last time you mentioned it. My problem is that I can never remember where anybody lives. Seriously, I forgot completely you were in the Tampa area. I'll give you a buzz once I figure out my plan here.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17930398671280529448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-34127311014899053692010-01-07T20:34:36.564-05:002010-01-07T20:34:36.564-05:00Sean, I bought a PS3 for the Blu-ray player for ou...Sean, I bought a PS3 for the Blu-ray player for our RV, as Sony puts one of their highest quality readers in it and then takes a loss on the hardware cost, figuring they'll make it up in game sales and licensing. It's a great BR player... it'll play just about anything, including the "Tru-HD" and 7.1 Pro stuff. It also nicely interpolates for whatever your sound and video system can handle, as long as you're using HDMI cables. Oh... and there are some excellent games too. ;)Jonathanhttp://wegofar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-80647962724432523892010-01-07T17:36:53.623-05:002010-01-07T17:36:53.623-05:00Sean - thought it was understood if you needed a p...Sean - thought it was understood if you needed a place, to give me a call - 813 two six seven five four eight six - NilesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6208406.post-72159493580019059802010-01-07T16:07:03.230-05:002010-01-07T16:07:03.230-05:00Sean,
