I joined bluray(so should U)

[blumooon]

I bought my PS3 3 days ago, and I have fallen head over heals for bluray.

Yerp. Ignore the blatant lies about the PS3 - it does not sound like a jet engine (almost silent), does not lock up or crash during game play or movies.

I bought a cheap Nyko HDMI cable, plugged it into my tv via HDMI without ever turning it on before. The reports of having to take an hour to install it manually, activate the HDMI port, then reboot and hook up hdmi are completely false.

Ignore the blatant lies like (I tested these three days, non stop ) you MUST HAVE the blu ray remote to make the movies "work". Complete BS the controller does playback fine. For nifty features like messing with subtitles and angles, etc, the remote would be convienent if not essential.

If you can indulge, get a PS3. I almost didnt cuz of the shitstorm of press that says - PS3 crashes constantly during game/movie playback, it overheats, sounds like a jet engine when u turn it on, required remote for BR, games suck, cripple processor, etc)

Its complete BS. Full HD movie playback (1080p) under a cell optimized media center can be seen here:

Cripple processor my ass. Write a media center for a cell processor instead of trying playback on PPC (g4) optimized codec, and you see how "crippled" the processor is.

Anyone who has any doubts or concerns because of the blatant lies spread by fanboys - think and choose for yourself, dont let others influence your decision.

And for those who wonder - I used xbox1 strictly for XBMC(Anyone who has every used XBMC knows its the definitive standard in SD media centers) - I dont really care about gameplay, Im more music and movies, maybe playing games 6-10 times (and boy is resistance phenominal) in a month. So fanboys need not respond.

I tried posting a complete experience with PS3 and blu ray movies last night at AVS, but they deleted it by this morning for some reason. It was completely unbiased in every way. Ohh well.

Avoid the hype, avoid the lies - think for yourself, try a PS3 before you knock it cuz of bad and misleading press.
