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

here u go champ

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

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

Hahahah yea and also a tree that grows money...

hahah..ok another good new to those who have a sony bravia tv. YOu cna use the Tv remote to control your ps3. So you dont have to buy a bluetooth remote. Also when you switch off ur bravia tv it will automatically switch off ur ps3 also... Cool eh..In the future it will be compatible with all Sony device... all the devices will be able to snyc with each other. Thats the vision. and we are seeing the integration happening bit by bit.

I am gonna wait a few days after the launch before scouring the Garage sales forum for a second hand unit. Alot of people will be caught up with the hype and glamour without realizing that they do not have enough money to pay their car installment.

Ahem... Kianwee.. not everyone can treat rm1.3k as spare change... the Malaysian Average income is around 3k and human are known to make bad choices. Of course elite like u guys wont even blink but general population like myself, 1.3k is a big deal.

aiyoh already have funstation... hehehe cannot bitstream ma..
