Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Blu-Ray on a 720p plasma?

Well, Since I have each, I was going to chime in about BD + 720 (it's significant and wonderful), but looks like you passed that pop stand already.

I DO want to give a big vote for the PS3. With your $100 Wally cert, it would be pretty close to the $239.

Keep your eye on SonyStyle as well. They are overdue to offer "Get a Sony Visa, any purchase over $299 gets 12 mos no interest, $100 (sometimes $15)) credit on your bill after a $299+ purchase and free ground shipping".

One of the best things I've done for my HT rig!

I love my PS3 as well, but he'd never use any of it's extra features and the bluetooth remote would drive him nuts. He likes using one remote.

Wal-mart is believed to take the Magnavox Blu-ray Disc Player, NB500MG9 down to a $128 price tag.

The price is expected to be announced around Black Friday.

Use the gift card and you only have to come up with $28.00

Craig, ditto Michael's suggestion as to the expected upcoming sale on the Magnavox player(top-rated in this month's Consumer Reports tests).

You are correct on both accounts. I forgot about boxing day but the hugeness of the sales don't seem to be as extreme.

The Panasonic is supposed to do an excellent job at upconverting dvd's as well. It may be worth the extra $100 over the Magnavox.

Hmmm - I ended up buying a solution for the PS3 that allows me to use my MX-900 / MX-850 remotes. It's at schmartz.com if you are interested. The on I got is the "PRO" version. Includes discreet ON and OFF for the PS3.

I'm using the schmartz Pro also, now I'm back to one remote and I'm a happy camper with my PS3.

Me too, thanks to you two guys.

I'd purchase a Blu-ray as my next player even if I had an old SD tube TV (which I don't). That way I could begin to amass a library of movie's in the latest format right now. I'd be ready for the future if I was to upgrade from my tube (or even an 720p screen). It kind'a sucks to have invested $100's or even $1000's in the older DVD format and then end up upgrading later and regretting not having bought Blu-ray from the beginning.
