Playstation - Finally got one!
We upgraded our main TV recently to one of the best 50" plasmas available, and wanted to step up to BluRay to take full advantage of the 1080p resolution. After lots of internet and in-store shopping, we decided to buy the best-reviewed player and get a leading gaming system thrown in for free. The sound and picture are truly amazing - I did simultaneous A/B comparisons of my old upconverting DVD playing Band of Brothers, vs. the PS-3 with the BluRay discs, and the crispness and detail are astounding. Map labels at the pre-invasion briefing scene were smudged out on DVD, and I would have attributed this to being out of focus, but are clearly readable and crisp on BluRay. Setup was very straightforward - Sony doesn't throw you to the wolves on the internet connection like some manufacturers - the esoteric options are there, but the suggested settings talked painlessly to my Apple wireless network. Games are amazing, but when the processor is really cranking, it throws off a lot of heat - not a complaint, just an observation that closing this up in an entertainment cabinet would not be a good idea.

Great deal
Although at the time I paid 400 for the larger 80GB the 18month finance @25 a month was great. over 2 years later she runs fine in the upright position. 2 or 3 freezes over the years but dont think recently with all the updates they send out.
