Does Sony's PS3 value argument hold up?

@Rpruett: What if i don't need Wi-Fi? Cable and telephone plugs are next to my TV, so i could plug my modem there just as well.

What value does BD bring to me? I have an SDTV without plans to buy HD one. Besides, the BD drive in PS3 is read only, it should be rewritable before it really could be said being useful, so the BD drive in PS3 is inferior to my DVD player.

Then, i buy my games consoles to play games on them. Not to watch movies. For the purpose PS3 offers the biggest price for the value. And it really isn't debatable.

Well if you had read my last paragraph in the original response you wouldn't have such misconception.  If you don't need WiFi (And never will) and have an SDTV (With no plans of upgrading to an HD TV) or don't intend on watching Blu-Ray movies ever,   then you really don't have much of a reason for a PS3 and might find the value for the 360 to be better. 

And no, the PS3 Blu-Ray Player is in no way inferior to your 'DVD Player'.

You can play games on the PS3 as well (It's not just a movie player).  So like I said,  it comes down to what you're looking for.   Read above in my original response if you need anymore clarity.

 

 

Wi-Fi is a useful addition, but since you have the plugs to connect to internet next to your TV anyway, it's not a necessity. You either need Wi-Fi or ethernet connection, as long as you have the connection.

I propably get a BD player someday. But i have time to wait until rewritable ones are at afffordable pricerange and free OTA channels are in HD. That's also the time i plan on buying an HDTV (if my current TV doesn't break up before that).

And yes, PS3:s BD drive indeed is inferior to my DVD player, unless it burns DVD:s or BD:s.

How much would you pay for a ton of horseshit?
