Now seriously, when will the PS3 have a price drop? If it hits 299, I'm sold.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 10:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/
I figure why not buy a xbox for $200 and watch it on there.

Guess what, you can't hear it over the PS3's fans!

I also take it you've never tried to use a universal remote, because it doesn't work. :P

If you play games, the PS3 is a great, great compromise or a bonus Blu-Ray player. I would question the wisdom of anyone who plops down for an ADDITIONAL stand-alone, but for those of us that don't play games (or just don't find anything that appeals to them on the PS3) then it's just not the right choice.

Lots of reasons to have an additional player as well as a PS3 if you watch movies in a home theater environment.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/
I'll buy a Blu-ray when prices drop to/below $250 (for a profile 2.0-compatible mode).]]>Oct 2nd 2008 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 2:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 12:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Ooh... Netflix should ink a few more deals (NBC (gotta have Heroes, the Office, and My Name is Earl), Showtime (Dexter), Sci-Fi (BSG), Discovery/Science/Military, and History/HI), and I'd so be there...

Heroes
The Office
Dexter

And these networks:

A&E
ABC
BBC
CBS
Discovery Channel
Disney Channel
Fox
History Channel
LOGO
NBC
PBS

There's actually tons of stuff now.

I'm getting tired to see folks whining about the PS3 not working with universal remotes: IR should already be dead 10 years ago, every remote should use bluetooth by now, it just make sense.

I wouldn't mind about another price drop either, but unless you'd just bought a couple games, given the price per game, the price of the system becomes rather irrelevant.]]>Oct 3rd 2008 1:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 4:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 4th 2008 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/

I also have a 720p set and no Blu-Ray - but that's b/c the prices are ridiculous and I'm not sold on the PS3 being a good BR player or a good gaming system. As soon as this technology gets out of the "ha, I stole your money to pay my initial R&D costs you stupid consumer zones," I'll buy one even if I don't upgrade my set (which I love by the way - 50" Sammy DLP).]]>Oct 3rd 2008 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 10:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 11:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/
2. For all intensive purposes, Blu-Ray, as "new" technology, will never be sub-$100. Sure, there will eventually be some bargain models at Wal-Marts across America, but by then Blu-Ray will be old hat, possibly even inferior technology. If this guy wants to wait 3-5 years for the $99 models, so be it, but he'll not only have purchased a 1080p set by then, he'll have owned it for years. I doubt that anyone reading this blog is going to hold out that long for $99 models, wasting their HDTV's life on upscaled DVD's. By the time Blu-Ray players are sub-$200, most people with HDTV's will own one.]]>Oct 3rd 2008 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 8:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 7th 2008 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/Oct 3rd 2008 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/lgs-bd300-netflix-blu-ray-deck-ships-on-october-10-for-349/
