Is a DVD player really better than a came console?

So in the end you guys agreee that spending 300 or so dollars on a DVD player would give me a noticeable improvement in quality? Remember i cant run 1080p, im going to run 720p, but i hear the 360 doesnt deliver the best 720p picture possible.

If you are using Component cables for the 360 you won't even get 720p, the 360 won't pass anything above 480p (except for games) unless connected with HDMI or VGA cables, so that's one other thing to consider.

I think the XBOX 360 is a joke for playing DVD's, I noticed lots of picture noise, and artifacting that just isn't there when I compare it to my Oppo or PS3. (Or even my old cheapo Panasonic S-47 SD DVD player!)

I still wouldn't spend over $100 on a SD DVD Player however. My vote also goes for a PS3, good upconversion, ablility to play BR's, and it also plays games.

Yea, im getting kind of sick of people telling me to get a PS3, once again im a hardcore Xboxlive gamer, and im not going to buy a PS3 just to use it as a Blu ray player, and i know for a fact i will never even touch the controller. Yes it maybe the best way to go, but i will let my stubbornness bite me in the asss

If not PS3, I'd probably go for the Panasonic DMP-BD30,or wait a bit and get the BD-50.
