Blue ray, or HDDVD isnt a valid reason to buy a 360 or PS3

I mean

with a not very powerful PC ( 300 USD ?) you can play it all

just plug a cable in the back of your PC, and in the back of your TV

and, HD/blueray movies I dont buy anyway, im a pirate when it comes to HD movies

so to get to my point

it isnt a + to have a blueray or HDDVD on your 360/PS3 :O

srry, I cant really come out of my words, my english aint that good

but I hope you see what I mean

You're forgetting that a lot of people -A- don't have the proper computer required - as you need a certain type of motherboard if I am not mistaken. B - a lot of people don't have their computers anywhere near their TV's. And C - to get sound and audio streaming out of your computer onto your TV, you would need either a reasonably complicated sound card and video card to TV/reciever setup, or a special video card with HDMI out.

You're wrong, Blu-Ray is a valid reason to buy a PS3. I watch Blu-Ray movies all the time, and my parents watch them now on my PS3 because they are so much better than DVDs. HD-DVD isn't a valid reason to buy a 360 though, since the 360 doesn't come with an HD-DVD player.

General rule: If you have not actually watched a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD movie, you shouldn't comment on their worth. If you saw Planet Earth on Blu-Ray, you would certainly think the PS3 was worth the Blu Ray player alone. In fact, my boss just went out and bought a PS3 for the Blu-Ray player (and Resistance FoM) after I showed him Casino Royale and Planet Earth.

Oh yeah, real practical moving my pc across the living room to hook up to my tv. Oh wait, i would need to upgrade my mother board and video card first. Oh wait, i would need to pirate all my favorite blu ray and hd-dvd discs somehow.....yeah, real practical.Videodogg

Wow, please tell me where you buy -your- parts. Because making a brand new PC from scratch that will include a $200 plus HD-drive for ONLY 400 bucks, that is pretty crazy.

And it plays games too!

Haha, it's true that with the PS3 you get a lot more for oyur money, but

1. The average consumer doesn't have an hdtv yet

2. Doesn't really fully realize what they're getting with the PS3

3. Things of game consoles as for games, and blu-ray players for movies.

Downloading HD Movies is futile. They're too big.

Plus the fact that you lose lossless audio when you download movies, since people take it out in order to keep the file sizes under 10 gigs, which is still too big.

I bought a PS3 for the sole purpose of watching Bu-Ray movies. It is a very valid reason for purchasing a PS3.

why says PC's are to big is an idiot

ever heard of Barebone ?

okay, so are you saying I can get a 160gb harddrive - motherboard - ram - cpu - video card (compatible one mind you) - sound card and casing for 200 bucks?

Um... dual core processors are recomended to process and decode DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD or even to process LPCM 5.1 audio.

How much would it cost to buy a new 160 gig Hard Drive for every 5 movies that you own?

Discs are cheaper.

So... 280-350 + 200 bucks = 480-550. Excluding shipping - and that is giving you a pretty large benifit of the doubt.

so ? you could

1) download them

2) watch them

4) if you dont like them you can throw them away

Also, when ICT flags are implemented, downloading HD movies will be useless.

Movie studios will never allow downloading to be the norm. They would never make any money.

Ah, then the system is useless...

since the integrated video card is not HDCP compliant. Blu-Ray movies would be de-rezzed down to 480p quality.

You need a video card that is HDCP compliant in order to watch Blu-Ray movies in 1080p.

Decoding and playing lossless audio takes up quite a bit of processing power.
