  It would still be better just to buy a PS3.

    This isn't about the gaming industry though and not everyone wants a PlayStation 3 in their home entertainment center. Yes, it's true, there is no better value than the PS3 but it's not for everyone.

      But if i didn't have a PS3 and i wanted a Blu-Ray player, the best 'value for money' would to buy a PS3, and hey, what if I feel like a game of WarHawk?

        No definitely, but you don't understand, this article was more just to educate people that Blu-Ray as a whole was coming down in price and that Blu-Ray is now going to be able to battle HD-DVD even better. It wasn't intended to focus on the PS3 in any way.
        
        Some people just want to be able to pop in a Blu-Ray movie and not have to navigate through an XMB just to start it.
        
        This articles intention wasn't to say, "hey people at gamegrep, now you can buy a much cheaper standalone blu-ray player." The intention was "hey people of gamegrep that want Blu-Ray to succeed and win, well stand alone players are going to come down in price so things are looking up."

        Dez you can set it up to auto start the disc when put in they won't be navigating anything. So i don't see your point.

        What don't you get about my point?! Some people don't want a *bleep*ing PS3 just to watch Blu-Ray movies! This isn't an article for gamers. You are a fool finalblade.

        If it isn't for PS3 take the PS3 out of there and put entertainment. Since you haven't done so it is for PS3. Im not a fool look at my previous post here i will quote you it:

        It would still be better just to buy a PS3.

        quote

        Perhaps if They one day wants to play videogames

        What i meant there was Yes not everyone wants a PS3 but maybe one day they would like to play games.
        
        Its still cheaper to get a PS3 which was the main point. Since you haven't fixed the article which stats Playstation 3 People will take it as such. IMO you kinda screwed up on your article.
        
        EDIT: You don't have to add PS3 if they mention it once, if it isn't for the thing entirely, being a reporter especially sites like this you need to be very specific to the article other wise people may misinterpret your news and then you lose credibility, you could have added entertainment along side PS3 to cover your tracks. Thats my whole point.

    Perhaps if They one day wants to play videogames, this is about the gaming industry since you labeled PS3 above Dez, I have to agree with Doylie though.

  They'll need to work on forcing that idea down on people. Right now the A2 from Toshiba is at $98 and $99 via Best Buy and Walmart. If you browse around you still wont find many Blu-Ray players listed in a pricerange even remotely close.
  
  Forget the enthusiast approach on quality and options, if you're talking about the uninformed masses, prices control their choice, not jargon they do not comprehend.
  
  The holiday season should be interesting given this news. The most I've seen slated from Sony right now is the 80GB packing Motorstorm for $499 at Sears.

  I'd rather get a PS3 than a blu-ray player by itself.

  The combination of a PS3 and a Blu-Ray player was a smart choice, now it comes back to kill.
  
  No one will buy a Blu-Ray player now, for sure, they''ll just die now.

  This isn't an article for gamers.

  Why did you bother posting it on a gaming website then?

  If i were middle-aged and buying a blu-ray player i would most definetly not get a ps3(assuming im not into games).
  1. because the ps3 does not have a display on the unit
  2. the controller can be a pain to use because nothing is labeled(stop, play, FF, next chap.) you also cannot program it into a universal remote.

    Since when was the display important, its just a want.

    Press start and you will see the start play etc, so your point are moot. Also get a remote, if not there is nothing wrong with the controller, stop being picky.

  stop being picky! you're a frickin' *bleep*! I want a display when watching movies so i know where i am at, so i know how much times left, at what point such an event or cool scene happened...of course i WANT a display.
  
  and i dont want to have to bring up a MENU on screen when watching a movie just to remember how to pause the damn thing (i know its start but not everyone will) and for anyone with a home theater they know how annoying it is to have 3 controllers as it is why the hell would they want a fouth...thats why i brought up the universal remote.....you think im being picky...ive got something for you to pick......MY ASS!!

    Its not hard to figured it out. also Start is pause if i remember correctly select is the menu for the stuff so i was wrong then but seriously What would you do, buy a $20 or more remote control or actually use your Controller, though a remote is great its definitely not a must. Its a want not a need since the controller is fine, so i'll stress it again stop being picky. As for the display yes it would be nice to actual see it but seriously is it really a need. Answer those. And before you do look up the difference between want and need, and those categories falls under want. Its not necessary to have them. Also i think there is a way for you to display it, its very similar to the PSP way.

  WANT: PS3, blu-ray player, lcd tv, universal remote, display, etc
