Ah-hah!

Come to me, my precioussssssssssssss

hyperdine · 11-30-2006, 12:23 AM

Awesome! Looking forward to the first reviews.

FYI for all BB stores they sony player is not for sale until the release date. It can and will get you in trouble. We have four in stock and I can't even get one. District screamed at us for having them out. So as much as I would love to see people get them, I think keeping our jobs is more important.

BTBuck1 · 11-30-2006, 05:20 AM

Well being that RSS shows a release date of like June 16th...what can they say?

They didn't come in with any instructions...we've already sold two of the 4 we got and the other 1 is on display.

If they flip on you tell them the release date was 6 months ago! My district managers seem more concerned with real issues it seems.

phloyd · 11-30-2006, 06:26 PM

Locally I only see the Panansonic, Samsung, and the Pioneer hiding in a cabinet

I was amazed to see that to be honest - I wouldn't call it 'on display'... heheh

theknub · 11-30-2006, 06:31 PM

the pioneer was there? what happened to mid december?

PurpleAardvark · 12-01-2006, 04:29 AM

We did fix that problem he was freaking out because it was suposed to be a launch on December 4th. After piont out that it was delayed and that was a guess on release date, he soon found that as always I was right. Now I am the proud owner of the Sony BSP1. Now if they would only let me buy a PS3 or a Wii.

BTBuck1 · 12-01-2006, 05:54 AM

Congrats on the purchase of the BDPS-1!

Every BB in NJ got 4 and they are selling them like hotcakes. I bought mine 11/28/06.

Could someone please do a direct comparison between the Sony BDP-S1 and the Sony PlayStation 3 as Blu-Ray players??

Jodi

PurpleAardvark · 12-03-2006, 06:42 AM

I would be able to if two things didn't happen. First if I wasn't greedy and didn't happen to ebay my PS3's. Second would be if my store would let me buy 1 when they came in, however this would lead back to the first problem. I know profiteering is bad mmmkkkk!!! But if some sucker wants to pay $2000-$4000 for a PS3 let them.

One thing IO can tell you is the PS3 runs hotter and the BSP1 is just a sexy machine. Almost as sexy as me.

BTBuck1 · 12-03-2006, 07:13 AM

We got 4 BDP-S1's in Wenesday, they where gone by Friday.

Okay now you go get a PS3. That's an order!

PurpleAardvark · 12-03-2006, 10:49 PM

I will tell you right off the bat that the BSP1 is far better that the PS3 for movies. It runs alot cooler, does freez up, and uses less energy. Also the sound output is better along with over all better PQ. It really does make a difference to have programs and parts for just BD movies and not BD movies, PS1-PS3 games. Over all I am very happy with the sony player and if I get another PS3 it will be on ebay until sony get the bugs out of the system. Some of those PS3 games look pretty sexy. But of now I will just Wii it up.

I have both and totally agree. If you are not interested in the gaming part, the movie experience is much better on the S-1.

GTP · 12-04-2006, 12:07 AM

I have a BDPS1 that I picked up today.

As far as audio via analog....The Sony is cleaner and a bit fuller sounding than the Philips player.
As far as P/Q....its different than the Philips for sure....but I am not convinced its better just yet.
More comparing to do.....but it seems the Philips is sharper overall so far.

My Optoma H-78 DC3(aka H-79) actually accepts 1080p from the Sony....but its a 720p PJ.
Had to try it for grins though regardless..

I do like the look and build of the Sony better....but prefer the Philips remote.
The Philips reacts to functions quicker...and I believe it also loads a bit quicker.

I have only compared Gone in 60 Seconds and KoH so far....and will report back after a few more days of comparing.
