Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Blu Ray player for standard def TV

Since you decided to pass on a blu-ray player at this time, I would wait to buy one until you get a high defintion television. That way you can use HDMI for both audio and video and let your Denon 3808 do the processing. Mine as well wait until you can enjoy both the audio and video potentials of the format.

Ya, I think that might be the case unless the present DVD player fully dies in the mean time, then it will be a BR of some type or the SACD players, tough call until I have that HD TV, then it would be a no brainer.

Jason, I call it playing for the sake of my kids to keep them involved. My 5 year old just ripped off a 164 meter Ski Jump he had a series of 5 in the 160meter range now he can't seem to replicate the right form again.

Nice, sounds like a natural born (Olympic) athlete!

I understand that the PS3 can be had for $250 if you sign up for a sony "playstation" credit card. (you can google it) I don't know if that affects your decision (as I have had great experiences with the PS3 as a blu-ray player)

I really want a PS3 if nothing else for all the streaming abilitites it offers and of course the odd games but I have to wait for awhile, if things go well maybe next Christmas.

Order it and blame it on last Christmas.

OOooo, good idea, and this way maybe I could get the PS3 that was backward compatible too.
