PS3 image quality VS stand alone

[nov0caine]

ok
im sure it already been asked..but i have to know.

this morning, i was listening to radio and some expert guest came and talked about the war between Blu-Ray and HD DVD.

his stance was .. basically ..HD DVD should have won it was better... (various reasons...) and was basically saying ..

Buy HD DVD as an upconverting DVD players from now .. HD DVD will be here for a long time .. bla bla bla..

i will not mentions the various "strength" of HD DVD he gave they where all bogus..

well first of all i was pissed. because hes supposely an expert and was talking to 200 000 peoples and was speaking lies and half truth.

i will of course write to the radio station and will refute all his arguments in favors of HD DVD including giving like to this site and maybe high def digest (not the best for neutrality but ... well im trying to be neutral) as a reference

the animator has a PS3 and watch some Blu-ray so im pretty sure he will read up on what i say or i would not even think about writting that letter.

however i dont want to look like a dumbass, when i go into an argument .. i make sure i will own the guy.

question:

Guest said . PS3 video quality was of lesser quality of any stand alone player.

i want to know if its true and if so .. what player offer better or lower quality than the PS3


also .. im pretty sure ALL Blu-ray players are upconverter but i want to make sure.

- does all Blu-ray players play mp3 too?

- i wont ask about if Blu-ray players can play regular DVD . because i know its true . but the dumbass expert said only HD DVD could play them not Blu-ray..


and if you have some esoteric info on difference and strength over HD DVD please tell me.

im making sure i will own the expert arguments and that when hes back on the air like each week .. if the animator ask some questions he will know that the guest is full of it.

thanks for the info
