The latest PS3 console, the PS3 slim can now Bitstream to your AVR. Priced at 299USD i think its the best option for BD player. Its slammer and fit easily into your HT system. I am thinking if i should buy a unit and make it my Dedicated BD player. Previously there were alot of grumble because the PS3 cant bit stream. Now i see the ps3 as the best option as a BD player

who says it can bitstream? any link to confirm this?

here u go champ

wow... excellent news .. bravo to Sony

Shit... now I have to get this.

seriously... it has a hdd to store all your mini series(ahem), wifi to connect to the internet(less cluster of wires) and you can play games on it... how cool is that... Also the slim is said to be a lot quiter than the old PS3

yup... have to get this too

anyone want my LX52??

now if only the PQ play back minimum as good as Panny BD60....then all other main stream BD player can go hiking......



*****how I dream it could play bd.iso and access ntfs partition as well.....

Wha bro Mpyw ... u really hard to please leh... hahahhaah... But the PS3 slim has a new BD reader/lens.... It is said to boot up faster that the original PS3 Phat. So maybe the picture quality could have improve.. No one know for certain at this point. But i really dont see much a difference on a Ps3 and BD player. Maybe cause i am a noob

If the RAM still 512MB, then I still think PS3 is not really a better game console...

Wow, Sony didn't even mention this in the official announcement. What is their strategy here?

PS3 has been long held as the best BD player (at it's price point of course, complete with the obvious extra feature: a game console), now they upping the ante. Fastest loading, and now can bitstream lossless audio codecs.

But because I have both standalone BD player and the SACD-capable PS3, I won't be considering this new PS3.

However, for those who has neither a BD player or a PS3, this new slim PS3 can be your ultimate solution.
