I completely agree, because it's okay encourage everyone that you should spend $700 extra dollars on something you weren't even looking forward to getting in the first place.

Well guess what, it isn't. Comparing something a PS3 that's $300 to a laptop that's $1000 dollars doesn't make sense in the first place.

It's like telling everyone to get a Mercedes-Benz over a Honda Civic, although the Honda Civic has everything you already need.

Smart move! Keep your laptop plugged in with the adapter all the time so you could use it as your BD player on your TV.

Great way to kill your laptop battery.

I did that and so did my girlfriend, now we are lucky if our laptops don't die 5-10 mins after unplugging them.

I guess it's no biggy though, you already dropped $1000 on it, what is another $120 on a 12V replacement battery?

Why would anyone get a laptop for blu-ray experience?

@ indodude - can you, or anyone else, show me the part in the article where mentions people that actually want a PS3?

eh... I know where this goes. People here love assuming everything is some sort of battle tactic or strategy, and usually decide their positions and anger just by reading the title of the thread. I'm out.

Peace. *waves*

He's obviously telling people that WOULD want a PS3 to get a fucking laptop over it.

It could also just be people assuming that people are assuming everything is some sort of battle tactic when it could really in fact be some people just thinking a comparison like this makes no sense at all.

Coming from personal experience I can tell you that using a laptop as your DVD/BD player on your TV set instead of a BD player and/or PS3 is just plain retarded. It kills your battery and with that your portability goes out the window. For home entertainment use a PS3 as your BD player is much better than a laptop.

As for portability the comparison would make no sense seeing as how the PS3 isn't portable. Laptops also come standard for the most part with 6V batteries, meaning you would be lucky to get a full 2+ hour movie in to begin with before the battery gives out.

This is just a dumb comparison.

By the way, why would they even waste their time telling you to buy a $1000 laptop when a $200-300 BD Player can do Netflix streaming as well?

That would have made much more sense in a BD player comparison.

@stof -
Lol but why would you buy a laptop? You might as well buy a fully functioning desktop PC instead of a PS3.

Desktop PC vs PS3 would make more sense where this guy is heading.
Plus most people already have a PC anyway.

While this article is biased bullshit, the slim is a cheaper version of the current PS3 with no significant upgrades as explicitly stated by Sony themselves, and if you don't believe that then you are also biased.

I highly suggest getting a 299 phat while you can.
