PS3 Vs Elite: What HiFi mag review

[partridge]

For those outside the UK, What Hi Fi is the biggest selling AV magazine in the UK. In the latest issue they ran a review of the Xbox360 Elite + HD-DVD add on.

They weren't impressed.

"performance disappoints. HD DVD pictures, while certainly better that SD, display more digital noise, worse motion handling and weaker colours than any of the standalone (HD-DVD) players tested"

Limp sound, with no HD audio support. It's a half baked attempt to match the PS3's do-it-all ability. They finish by saying "if movies are very important to you, look elsewhere"

What HiFi gave it 2 out of 5 (remember they are looking at it from an AV perspective)

But what about the PS3? Last month they gave it 5 out of 5 "unlike the 360 this is a committed all-rounder and it's a more advanced blu-ray player than most standalone units"

Says it all.
