High definition upgrades part 2
Buying a PSP3 and a blu-ray player for only 600$ can be a good choice for a gaming and high quality picture experience. The video clarity is beyond comparison. Buying both devices at the same time is highly recommended.
But high priced players and formats which might be here today at their highest peaks could be gone tomorrow. Don’t get me wrong. But I’m willing to wait for an affordable combo player.
With the market for DVD ownership now there may actually be room for both formats. Consumers would win by lower prices due to the competition, but lose when movies they want aren’t released in the format they own.
If you are a fanatic movie collector and like them see them constantly and have a 50 inch TV or maybe bigger, be sure to purchase a player that supports the media you want to buy. Either way, download from the internet or rent them if you don’t re-watch those movies.
The differences between the Blu-ray Discs vs. HD DVD are quite minimal, ranging from disc capacity – dual layers support, audio codecs, on demand picture-in-picture, storage or movie studios that support that typical format. Both formats support the Advanced Access Content System copy-protection scheme.
Basic line: should be keep upgrading, wait until prices become lower, or wait a couple of years until the market is stabilized?
It’s up to you.
