I have joined the Dark Side..

[yettitheman]

by purchasing a PS3 for Blu-Ray and GTA4.

It's kinda funny, the HD-A2 sits beside the PS3 and none of them have blown up yet

So far, I'm really liking the BD actually. The upscaler in the PS3 is also very nice.

I might think about selling the HD-A2 and movies... but I want to get the Matrix Trilogies on BD before that happens.

Wish the ps3 had a better games catalog, though I've read it might be the MMO platform of the near future.

I'm with ya on that one, the list is kinda shortish, but I do like:

The Darkness
GTA 4
Motorstorm

I can't remember any others right now but GT5 coming out I will definitely get when it ships.

I am speachless atm. I am enjoying my new TV with the PS3 as a Blu-ray and upscaling DVD player. More details on this later.

Yetti, don't forget to mention how the noise level of the HD-A2 compares to the PS3.

Yeah... the HD-A2 is louder than my PS3 operating normally.

Since 2.10 I think, Sony has made huge enhancements for upscaling SD sources. I don't remember the title, but for the fist time this week I put a DVD in and didn't bother the 480p. It was very sharp. Not 1080p sharp but at least the picture looks way clearer when upscaling. I though my computer was doing great... pfff lol.

I'm so glad I bought this machine!! Woth every penny and I don't even play games (ok... NHL 08 once per 2 weeks).

Don't feel bad. It's not like you bought a Monster Cable

My A2 has been silent for some time because I simply won't buy any more movies for it. It isn't worth anything to sell, nor are the movies at this point for the most part.

Congrats!

Now that the pricing for the BD-50 is going to be fairly high, I may just pick up a second PS3 instead, just for movies.

I thought it was this or you bought a Bose system

I guess it's time to come out of the closet. Hi, my name is Jim and I have Monster speaker cables plus a few interconnects. In my defense, I've had most of it for 10 years, long before I knew any better. All my recent stuff has come from Blue Jeans.

PS: No Bose products, though. I may have been ignorant but I'm not really stupid.

oh shi- he divided by zero!

Yep... the PS3 is doing well... over a week into GTA4 and I'm about 40% done wit the single player...

Time to find a big HD and install Linux...

LOL. Friday I completed the last of the A class races on Prologue. With tuning available (after A class is complete), you have a lot more options and on unrestricted tracks you can drop your weight to 85% of original and add a ton more HP (depending on the car) Most of them I got bronze on the first time out, and I just spent the time to Gold or Silver as many as I could. Some were easy to gold, others not so easy to get that last car. The S Class is a LOT harder though, mainly due to the penalty system.

 

[yettitheman]

What's the deal with prologue? I know that GT5 will be coming out.. but why did they make that game? If you get it, and then get GT5, does it do something?
