Which is a better investment ? can PS3 do almost everything POHD does?

2 different things... how to compare?

Just the media player part only

if what you want is just a media player, just get yourself the POHD as it can play mkv files that are widely available.

lol i had the same problem before
in the end i got a pohd instead of ps3
it all boils down to whether u will watch more movie or play game?

If for media player better get POHD because it can support a lot of file format and subtitle. POHD also more cheaper than PS3.

if for movie only get the POHD... ps3 is good if u want to play game as well.. plus u can watch bluray

TS, u enjoy playing game or not?

if x main langsung, better go 4 POHD...

ps3 can passthrough HD audio codec(Dolby True,Dts-hd, etc) while POHD cannot but ps3 support lack of container in the mainstream.

haiz dunno what to do

im more of a gamer but also like to watch movies .
I was thinking of PS3 because it can do both .
but what are the limitations of the movie formats in PS3?

Then choose PS3...

buy both & problem solved

haish! choose ps3 la then...
no worries u can play all using ps3 media server.

All file format can be played on A ps3 ?
is the media server something like tversity?

la, obvious decision...get da ps3!

i play games n watch movies too... GET DA PS3!!!!!!

i tot ps3 have problem watching files bigger than 4gb?
and it cannot watch .mkv files as well

No brainer question. Compare Durian with limau???

FYI, PS3 and XBOX CANNOT PLAY MKV files. So it's totally useless. Sure you can stream from your PC...but you'll encounter lots of problems...and substandard quality output....not worth it.

Play games=XBOX360
Watch movies=ACRYAN, WD TV Live or any other BRANDED media players.

PS3 kasi buang...lol.

I Dont have enough money to buy Both .( wish i did though )
i just dont want anything redundant in my HT Gaming setup
thats all

really bro... don waste if you are not a hardcore gamer...
yea i was like you last time but i bought my Xbox360 more than 3 years already where i choose xbox over pc... then it comes to the player decision after i buya LCD TV and it is very clear that any stand alone media player can play much more variety of files that you can at those console... so after i bought the LCD TV then HDPro (media player) not long ago and my xbox now is like sitting there dump fat and happy, only play less than 15 hrs per week and mostly only switch on about 2~3 times a week only... where as i switch on my TV every morning and evening for western tv series, hk tv series and a hell lot more of movies now...

just buy either one...
people like me who buy both end up under-utilising one of them.. hehe..
too many movie and series to watch, neglect the PS3...
too many games to play, neglect watching movies and series...
