562842 2007-06-27 01:58:00 Interesting about the PS3 score... I am not in the slightest bit interested in Computer/Video games so the choice comes down to playing HD DVD's and to capturing and playing HD video from a HD Camcorder. (My hobby)

The stand alone players are HD-DVD on the Toshiba at around $1600 or Blu-Ray on the Panasonic at around $2500.

The PS3 at around $1099 basic, can capture edited HD video off a DVD where it is written or captured as a m2t file. (22min per 4.7GB disc) (Blu-Ray)

The XBox Elite at $850 (release date August 2007 TBC) can do similar I believe. (HD_DVD)

Both having HDMI output gives full High Def video.

Therefore, as value for money, which one of these is best?

Does the fact of getting a HD DVD player built in, put them ahead of other gaming systems?

562843 2007-06-27 05:43:00 The inclusion of the HD DVD player puts them behind other games systems, It has nothing to do with gaming and jacks up the price by a substantial amount....kneecapping sales.

Imo of course.

562844 2007-06-27 06:43:00 I was comparing them with standalone Hi Def players which is my next purchase . The price comparison as a HD disc player is horrendous . What has the Panasonic Blu-ray player got that the PS3 hasn't?

The only problem with buying a PS3 or a XBox Elite is my son's declaration that if I wanted to use it I would have to travel 10K to his place . He is well known as a smart arse :lol:
