lastAvenger Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I was going through Sony India's website and i came across that Sony has introduced Blu-ray standalone players in India. This is definitely good because its a slap on Microsoft India's face when they actually said that there was not enough HDTV's in India and hence they didn't introduce those standalone HD-DVD Xbox360 addons. Certainly we are progressing well in this digital world Movies and other things should be emerging too over here BDP-S300 @ 30,000Rs BDP-S1E @ 60,000 Rs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nameless Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Man PS3 is better any day than these BD players. At least the firmware is upgradeable and you can play some of the best games in HD unlike other consoles. (Yeah I love my PS3 ) And coolest thing is the remote for PS3 is bluetooth enabled so don't have to keep pointing it in PS3's direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another best thing about PS3 is Divx compatibility, which these players are lacking for some really weird reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot-Drake-Pixel Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 These BD standalone players are ridiculously high priced. PS3 offers a lot more and better at much lower price. These standalone unit are probably meant for those who don't know anything about gaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 noob Q: why r these BR players so expensive? do they hav some kinda technical advantage over the ps3? if not then why r ppl even buyin em? To add to what KC said, In gaming console business, you get profits from royalties from the games developed on your console. So the console manufacturers sell it at a lower price, hoping to make money from the royalties recd thru game sales. I don't think such an agreement exists for standalone dvd/br players, so, to make a profit Sony will have to sell it at higher rates ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reaper Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 ^^ so u guys mean to say that a standalone blu ray player will have no additional features when compared to the PS3 .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameless Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 ^^ so u guys mean to say that a standalone blu ray player will have no additional features when compared to the PS3 .... Yup and AFAIK PS3 has an additional feature of firmware update which may not be available in standalone BD players. Guess the only reason anyone will need to buy a BD player is it will look better (Sleek and Small) than a PS3 in the living room. (Personally would prefer another PS3 in the Living room, then can game anywhere) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x.reycer Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 These stand alone BR players must have the real BR output capability, I mean focusing only on sound and picture quality. A must buy for Home theatre Lovers. These days they sell homes with a theatre room....Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
