I've only tested once on Toshiba Regza RV600E FULL HD, full resolution , watched blu-ray through my BD-ROM , awesome..

1.3 k , but how much the games cost you?.. Blu-ray disc doesnt cost you that pricey cost like PS3 games..

So, its definitely a budget setup however..

but for htpc how to enjoy dts hd?

Find a sound card which can stream DTS-HD-MA, (Lossless better), or plug your AVR to soundcard and output from AVR..which is compatible with 5.1 , 7.1 etc

ya it make sense...
for me game not a big problem i buy only high rating game ...
2nd hand game cheap wat...

Cool, then your a safe card player then..btw.. I heard there some soundcards that coming out in DTS HD ..not sure which SC's..

it means u dont need to perfectly good soundcard, if u have good 5.1/7.1 speakers?

hmmss

PC gfx is superior, so what? My PC set up is about rm20-30k but PC games still suck coz even after spending so much money, the game still lags on my puny little 30" monitor n we're still at the mercy of Microsoft Windows n it's perennial crashes. Some games like Microsoft's very own big game like Gears Of War won't even start after installation.

PS3 game is guaranteed super smooth experience. Just put the game in n play. Best thing is, I'm sitting in a super comfy lounge chair with wireless controller in hand n gaming at 1080p on a 60" screen in my living room. Can even call friends over for some havoc with multi player FIFA session. Try that with a PC. Best thing is, the PS3 set up costs only half of my PC set up.


PS3 games cost about the same as PC games. What r u talking about?

For PC user, normally they custom the pc setup for movie&gaming purpose, as for game console supporter, no need to think about the intel/AMD, motherboard, ram,graphic card..etc.
For bluray playback purpose, maybe u have to spend "2x PS3 price" for the best graphic & hd audio bitstreaming of HTPC.
All these up to individual's different favourite.............

Anyone know where can i find ready stocks for Sony BDU X10S ?
Thanks in advance.

totally agree with you...
last time have around 10k PC...
still cant compare with 1.2k PS3...
most important is PC game not support HD..

BETTER GO FOR PS3

Good for ya then..have fun..

I'm using ATI HD5570 and right now i can bitstream HD audio from m2ts file to AVR.
So can I bitstream from my ATI when playing blu-ray using BD-ROM?

the only real difference between the PS3 and HTPC is for multiformat HD content... BD quality wise, its already 1080p for Video so there really shouldn't be any difference in terms of quality...

HTPC may have the advantage of being able to play .mkv and other media files that the PS3 isn't able to... that's about it I believe.

Dont think so mate..you can bitstream from your m2ts to AVR , not from ATI..its only for your HD Display..

you think wrong.
nowadays people don't have to buy a HD soundcard to enjoy hd sound. enough with a display card that supports hd audio bitstreaming through hdmi (like the ati 5 series).

Yeah, i know its bitstream through hdmi from display card but to where you gonna output the HD sound?

the speakers of course

if like that, get a good speaker that produces Surround sound will be good enough i reckon, like HD sound d i think

yea, get an ATI 5xxx series VGA will do the job for both HD video and audio

HD 5850 spec :

Integrated HD audio controller

* Output protected high bit rate 7.1 channel surround sound over HDMI with no additional cables required
* Supports AC-3, AAC, Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio formats



however, of cos you still need a HDMI AVR as well haha...

advantage HTPC to PS3, i guess its just reading extra video format in softcopy way (mkv, m2ts, bdiso)
