In Reply to: poll: if it looked like a stand-alone player, would you buy a... posted by Joe Murphy Jr on January 12, 2008 at 13:05:05:
Yes, if:
- it recognised the disc inserted as a BD/standard DVD and automatically started up as a player. I seem to remember comments that the earliest PS3s did not do that; and
- it responded to a normal IR remote so that I could use my Harmony 880 with it. I'm not interested in something that uses BlueTooth for the remote.
I'd also prefer it to have a tray mechanism rather than a slot.
Come to think of it, I'd even buy the current one if it met those 3 requirements and could pass both Dolby and DTS hi-def formats in PCM.
I'm not overly impressed by the shape but it's not the shape that's holding me back.
