any blu-ray player on the horizon that is quieter and better than PS3? - Blu-ray Forum

zor · 12-03-2008, 07:06 PM

My PS3 is the newest chip version and it's still too loud for me (way quieter than Xbox 360 though). I also have a "home theater" PC (no blu-ray drive) that's quieter than my PS3 but still too loud for me. So I'm looking for real quiet

By "better" I'm not so much interested in PQ as I am interested in features (upconversion that doesn't change the aspect ratio is the most important) and functionality (reliably plays all BDs and reliable firmware updates for the future).

My PS3 has been without a glitch so far.

This wouldn't necessarily be an immediate purchase so any player that's been rumored or announced would be good too

THANKS

You got that right. Ive never even heard my PS3 run. And I run it hard when it comes to BD. Constantly hitting the features and everything just to see if it can keep up. IT DOES. Like he said stick with the PS3

All BD players on the market are already quieter than the PS3.

My BD-30 and S350 fan never kicked in. The only thing you ear is when the drive is spinning when you insert a disc. That's all.

many that are quieter, but better... the ps3 is the only player i've had or heard of that doesn't freeze.

Had my BD30 for a year, never had a freeze. Also had a PS3 for a year without a freeze..

There's an interesting suggestion how to make your PS3 quieter here.
