PS3ers,When will you buy a stand alone? - Blu-ray Forum

bone crusher · 03-12-2008, 05:15 AM

I own a PS3 as a BD player and I am just wondering when you guys if ever plan to get a stand alone to be your BD player?

I think I will get one once there is a player that has all the features that BD has to offer. Probably will get one in about 2 years.

I have to get a second HDTV first.

i will get one when they release some 2.0 players and when they are just as fast at loading as the PS3

well first they need to drop the price.I mean my ps3 does everything i want it too so why switch?plus the ps3 is updated easily so its great.

The moment I can get my hands on the new BD50 from Panasonic. I have been dying to hear DTS-HD MA. My PS3 is a really loud one too and it really bothers me sometimes when Im watching movies, I dont care when gaming though.

I don't got a big urge to get a stand alone. Pretty sure i wont be tryin to watch a movie while playing a game if i had a seperate player. At this point i don't even know when i'd get one.

Can DTS HD MA ever be downloaded on the PS3 in the future?

un4gvn94538 · 03-12-2008, 05:50 AM

no one knows for sure. but the majority and some "insiders" say yes decoding is possible from firmware update. but im betting i get one of the new players before the ps3 gets the update

un4gvn94538 · 03-12-2008, 05:51 AM

paidgeek is/was online and seemed surprised that most dont care for profile 2.0 and mainly want the decoding. im hoping hes going to give some info
