Muffleman Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I decided I wanted a Blu-Ray player so thought I'd look into it. Well, it would appear that the PS3 is the better bet at the moment as it's upgradeable and in fact BD Live is now available via update whereas most standalone DVD players are 1.0 or 1.1. Really annoys me actually, I don't want a PS3 (never get time to play games on the PC or 360 at the moment !) I want a BR player that I can stack underneath the Sky+ box Anyway, what's the real differences between the 40g and 60g versions ? As it's quite a price difference.

Rayman Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Is it that they 40g doesnt play ps2 games? May be some other small things, but i have the 40gb and its great value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Not bothered about PS2 games so no problem there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 Thanks mate Thought there was a bigger price difference tbh Just noticed this at the top of that link Update: The 60GB console have now been phased out in the UK That right ?

Rayman Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 TBH it doesnt suprise me, the price difference was incredible for what you where getting, i think the 60gb came out first tho so maybe when the 40gb came out everyone just bought that.

RiceRocket Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 You can get a Blu-Ray player for £200. Is the PS3's player region-locked too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Let the fuss die down. Blu-Ray players will drop in price before too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 You can get a Blu-Ray player for £200. Yeah but probably be profile 1.0. whats BD live? Web enabled HD content, picture in picture extras, basically more crap Let the fuss die down. Blu-Ray players will drop in price before too long. Yeah true, but never been particularly patient Just have to get a PS3 with remove I spose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 my first advice would be to upgrade the hard drive to 320Gb when you get it. The PS3 comes with instructions and it doesnt void warranty. With quite a few games installing up to 5Gb on the harddrive!! 40Gb isnt going to go very far.

supra steveo Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 now this might interest people and its something sony dont want you to know there is a direct replacement 120GB hard drive for the playstation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra steveo Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 oh there is a 320GB replacement ?? wheres that from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 oh there is a 320GB replacement?? no, the hard drive on the PS3 is a standard PC hard drive and not cased up in fancy connectors etc... like the xbox. Meaning you can just buy a hard drive from a PC shop and replace it. You need to read instructions that comes with ps3 for max size supported and connection type.
