But they've got nerons!
Yeah whatever tickles the fanny! There is thousands more but you will come up with same excuses instead of just admitting the Blu-RAy makes it the winner...What am I saying. You already did! Sorry this argument was over until Feo and re-raised some questions and Gavin the racist stormed in flaming looking for a political war.

I feel so neglected.
You had a whole 7 page fanboy flamewar and no one sent me an invite
Darn this darn Drakensburg and shady GPRS 
Oh well, lots of catching up to do
NoADSLyet, take a Rennies or something, that BS you've been fed seems to be giving you heartburn.
R4500 is overpriced for a movie player period. The only person who could possibly see any real benefit from that is Wynsam. To everyone else at less than 50 inches, get an upscaling DVD player for a Grand and give the finger to the BR consortium because:
1. They're charging R300+ to make you by the same cr@p mindless junk movies you already own
2. The DRM in BR is more anal than a Sony Fanboy on Halo day
3. BR discs are physically rubbish, flimsy and prone to damage, even with the additional coating
BR stands as one thing - a group of money hungry corporates trying to railroad the industry into buying the same garbage over again because they're too darn stupid to make anything new and worthwhile.
If you want to argue consoles argue games and I've got 1 thing to say: 17.7 million 360's sold versus 8 million 'mighty' PS3s. So Sony had a few good weeks at the end of last year, good for them. They were still killed in the US. It still took them the sale of their insurance business, a $1billion loss and a crushing 33% price cut after only 9 months in the market to achieve that. By comparison the 360 has gone over 2 years now at 88% of it's launch price. Any halfwit can tell you the Console War starts at $200. There is no way in heck that you'll see another PS3 price cut before the very end of 2008, they're still losing $100's on every console.
You think Sony's 'won' because they're finally in the position MS expected them to be in at the beginning of 2006? I don't think so. How do you think Sony will feel when Every IPTV customer in Europe and the US get a 360 as a set top box? Digital delivery is king. Ask iTunes.
And stop trying to argue which is "technically superior" and lets call it a wash, because I'll give you a hint. When self proclaimed PS3 fanboys (Criterion) turn around and say developing on PS3 first and porting to 360 is easier, it's a big flashing neon sign that the 360 is outgunning the PS3.
Oh well, back to mountains and Meadows for me

Eish, guys. My original questions was whether the price of the PS3 is coming down anytime soon and if the PS3 is a good Blu-Ray player vs a standalone player. Not which console is the better gaming console.
For the people that answered my original question, thank you very much I got the info I needed.
For all the gaming freaks (ok maybe freaks is a strong word, some people might get upset, lets say gaming people) out there, some people do use the console for more than gaming.

Thanks for clearing that, only some f@@ls would not listen, as with these fanbois with their own agenda you never can win. Therefore my continued reference to the topic and stating the obviuos that the PS3 is technically more advanced than the XBox
The prices just came down with the reduced spec PS3 already so further reductions will not be soon I expect. Fact is it remains the best currently available media centre, and it can play games on top of it, with a lot of future scope once the developers get used to it and use the cells structure correctly. If you read the article posted the developers is only now getting in stride to harness the PS3's full potential. Therefore it is a better and more advanced product technically and potentially will be a great investment for the future. The Xbox will just remain a limited games console wit stupid add ons to try and maintain market value. If read between the lines of what I was trying to say then The PS3 is worth all the added expense as if you reduce the price further then you will have to take away some more features and that would have to be the Hd components. The Blu-Ray is what will make the PS3 the winner as well as the SONY backing as what happened with PS2 and the lame XBox.

...says the one who has proclaimed the victory of the PS3 based on the fact that it is a Sony product and then later in this very thread admitted to being an "MS fanboi". You might want to consider your own words before accusing the rest of us of your own shortcomings.
You truly are a walking, talking contradiction.
Funny how you continually claim Blu-Ray as the PS3's strongest buying point, but can't meet any of us with some proof on the ability of the rest of the console especially in the light of some potentially interesting news:

Going off topic, even more, I am constantly amused by the fact that M$ were sued broken for forcing software onto people by bundling it with Windows however when they do something that gives you the choice to by add-ons they are stupid
Its a great blue ray player. Upscales dvd well too. In all in a really nice media device. By the way it plays games too!

With your understanding and though pattern is is not difficult but to just wonder. I made a comment in a on topic post, You prefer to select that small comment in a on topic post to derail the thread yet again.
Just grow up!
Well said but difficult to understand by "Sad sod" lone gamers like we see here!
There is a thread running re gaming damaging the brains. It seems to be true and factual after all!

I no longer feel the need to argue.
@NoADSL- If you feel R4500 is "a great deal" for a micropercent upgrade in visual quality (already available via download services at a fraction of the cost anyway) All I can say is please please please buy a PS3 and stay the **** away from XBL. Marketing spin owns you like a cheap suit.

Do not know what you are on about! Must be the weather or the booze you drank or maybe the pills you took. Please supply a link where I can download a Blu-Ray player. Thanks for your understanding! LOL

I think he's talking about HD content that can be downloaded off the net, try to keep up.
