Coming soon, my first BD viewing experience - Blu-ray Forum

ryanjs73 · 12-16-2007, 04:57 AM

Hopefully in another hour or so I'll be watching my first BD on my new PS3 40GB. I know, I should be setting it up instead of posting here. I'll post my first impressions after watching a movie.

Let me guess, you'll be watching Spiderman 3, correct? You'll be getting your money's worth. What type of HDTV do you have? Right now, I'm watching Die Hard on blu; its pretty tight despite the cheesy movie lines

Actually, I'll probably watch 300 first. I started buying BDs a couple of weeks ago. Just waiting on the update to complete.

Be aware, 300 is a little grainy for your first impression.

looks great, just a little grainy compared to others.

just get a POTC movie and ur set!

Well, I love the picture, even on my 30" TV but I'm a little disappointed in the fan noise from the PS3. Right now it is out in the open to help keep it cool. I wonder if I put it in one of my entertainment center enclosed shelves with the back cut out if it would get too warm. Guess I'll just have to try it and see.

Oh, ended up watching Black Hawk Down and March of the Penguins. Maybe watch Blood Diamond tonight.

While the fan can be noisy, I forget about it constantly.

Be sure to pick up Apocalypto ($20)

I can rarely hear the fan in my PS3; anyways, buy the Die Hard Collection, its worth it.

agree i just watched the first 2 for the first time and was amazed by the PQ, and im still only watching it on 720p.

I never even hear my 40gb PS3 and i sit close to it. I freakin love that thing

Same issue with my PS3. I put it vertical behind the 50" set and just in front of a window with a floor-length curtain and it significantly reduced the noise. The fan still spins like crazy but I rarely notice it anymore. Of course all of those new speakers I installed might have something to do with that as well.
