I got home from school a couple of nights ago, and finally, I heard dad drop a hint at what he wanted for Christmas. He wants a Blu-Ray player to compliment his 50 inch 1080p Samsung. Finally, he'll be plugging an HD device into his HD tv
So here is my question. I've got no time to buy a Blu-Ray player, and we live in a small town of 20,000 people. We have a RadioShack, Staples and a Wal-Mart Supercenter.
The Blu-Ray players that I have seen are insanely slow and unresponsive, but I've heard that the Ps3 is quick. I have a couple of questions about it.
Dad hates videogames. He chewed me out the first time I plugged my 360 into his TV. He also hates figuring out technology. I want a player that is fast, but also easy to use. The Ps3 needs to operate like a normal DVD player. Will it?
Can I buy a normal remote for it?
How's it compare to modern Blu-Ray players?
I'm so biased against optical media at this point that I haven't been paying a bit of attention, and now its coming back and biting me.
