Poll: Will you buy a PS3 Slim to use as a Blu-ray player? {Engadget HD}
Aug 29th 2009 2:19PM I am one of those "freaks" who bought the Slim simply as a Blu-ray player. I know to most folks that it doesn't make sense to spend the money to see the DTS HD Master logo suddenly appear on your receiver's screen--but I love it! Go figure.
Actually, I had planned to abandon the PS3 last month when the highly acclaimed Oppo Blu-ray player was released. After all of the hype over the Oppo, and at twice the price of the PS3 system, I was struck by the fact that the original PS3 (and now the Slim) out- performed it on almost all respects--especially upscaling DVDs. Reviewers are heaping kind words on the Oppo player while I think that the Sony PS3 is a far better Blu-ray player.
My only objection to the Slim thus far is that, if you use the system like a component in your AV set up shelves--you can not see the red or green light indicators. Given the fact that the new unit is so quiet, you could actually waste power should you find yourself forgetting to turn off the system after going on to other things.
Indeed, I've yet to se any player under $1500 beat the PS3 in overally speed and quality of image.
