Noisiest?? You sure are a retard! The PS3 is super silent!]]>Jun 4th 2007 6:45AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/
It is absolutely the noisiest BD player on the market. Google it if you can't compare side by side.

But, seriously, the PS3 is very quiet.]]>Jun 4th 2007 6:47AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/
Still to counter your obvious HD-DVD bias, let talk about boot up times.

Toshiba HD-A2 = 2 minutes
PS2 = 17 seconds
BDP-S300 = Unknown, but likely to be similar..

LOL, I can put a disk on a HD-AS, go for a slash, microwave the popcorn, and the movie will have still not started... To put it another way. HD-A2 bootup time == 15% of the movie length....

Personally i don't think either format will take off soon enough and the PS3 may be left too far behind to ever catch up.]]>Jun 4th 2007 9:04AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/
Your ps2 is hardly a good comparison, it's a completely different machine with a 4x dvd drive, that's why the xbox 360 loading times are lower and why PS3 gives you the option to install 3-4 gigs of game data to reduce loading time.
LOL, I can go for a slash, microwave the popcorn, and watch a movie by the time it takes a fanboy's brain to boot up.

And you cannot combine the cost of having bought the Xbox360 and player as most people usually buy the attachment later.]]>Jun 4th 2007 9:57AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/
And anyway, the Toshiba sells for $335, no tax, not shipping from Amazon today. Which is better than $499 Real Soon Now.

Paper launches are bad enough, but paper prices on paper launches really take the cake. The only 2nd generation player on the market right now is the Samsung BDP-1200 at $560 or so.]]>Jun 4th 2007 12:08PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/
Either he is talking about a PS2 and your the fool, or he meant to say PS3 in which case he's the fool because the PS3 is not that quick. Anyway i've spent far too much of my time talking to fanboys today so goodbye.]]>Jun 4th 2007 9:53AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/Jun 4th 2007 11:18AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/Jun 4th 2007 10:18AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/Jun 4th 2007 10:12AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/
Stop being silly. The Xbox 360 add-on, Toshiba XA1, Toshiba HD-A20, and the Toshiba HD-XA2 are all capable of 1080P. If you didn't know, educate yourself before spreading falsehoods.

@ Mak

Which Toshiba HD-A2 has a 2 minute load time? Are you deliberately being silly? The A-2 and A-20 have about a 30-40 second "boot" time, but disk loading times are around 15 seconds. Go out to a local electronics store and see for yourself.]]>Jun 4th 2007 10:14AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/
Oh...and I bought my A-20 for $380.]]>Jun 4th 2007 10:16AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (PS2) 10 out of 10

Forza Motorsport 2 (X360) 1 out of 10

There is a possibility that there's another sad fanboy called MK24ever posting on gamespot but i'm willing to bet from your comments that you're the same one.]]>Jun 4th 2007 10:49AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/

I have a 1366x768 plasma so 720p is fine by me as long as everything on every disc now and into the future works.


I don't have either, and don't care which one wins, but I've got to say that there's no way I'm buying a player that already doesn't support the features of the movies being released.

1. I want every feature the media has to offer.
2. I'll pay what I have to get #1, but it better be cheap or I'll wait.
3. I'll bet there are a lot of me's out there.]]>Jun 4th 2007 11:54AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/
"And anyway, the Toshiba HD-A20 sells for $335, no tax, no shipping from Amazon today. Which is better than $499 Real Soon Now."

By the way, for those that project future prices and compare them to the competition's current prices, what makes you think that the competition will stand still? By the time that these mythical $399 BD players come out, HD DVD players could well be at $199. After all, there are stores selling the HD-A2 for $199 TODAY.]]>Jun 4th 2007 12:16PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/06/04/sonys-bdp-s300-blu-ray-player-now-less-than-a-ps3/BTW, I have the PS3 and an Xbox360; however, I will never buy a HD-DVD player, never.
Blu-Ray moves owned 43 and HD-DVD 0.
