PS3 is better, definitley. Don't knw how much juice it uses compared to a stand alone, but you definitely did the right thing. I think I may wait till black friday and pick up a 350 for $179 at sears
"horrible" is such a relative term. What makes it so bad? I got one over six months ago refurbished for $220 at a Sony store, and have been updating with the releases of each firmware along the way, and so far so good. What's the matter, can't use BD live and annoy your fellow fanboys? I do not know why all love to disparage a unit that so far has not had the problems that other 2nd genration players have demonstrated. I will admit that Baraka did not play until the most recent firmare released onm 10/31/08 (version 4.30) but works like a charm now, including the 007 flick For Your Eyes Only (which was also alittle buggy). For the money, it's an "ok" if not "good" player, certainly not horrible. Maybe you expect the best, but do you give your best? Just trying to be objective. No worries.
Along the lines of misbehaving blu-rays discs, I sport a Sony BDP-300 at home, with the latest firmware update (Version 4.20) and BARAKA will not play. Brought it back to BEst Buy and it played no prob on the $800 denon in the showroom. What gives?
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
