In Reply to: Should I just get a PS3 to avoid the Blu-Ray Profile 2.0 problem some will face soon? posted by bullethead on February 17, 2008 at 09:45:31:
in the comming months.
These movies can keep you happy until the you buy a Blu Ray player with 2.0
I have the PS3 40GB, and it is only a good long term solution, if you want the game or computer functions.
The power use is much to high for a player only, 280 Watt compared to a 28 W player. In the summer it not nice to have such a heater running, it becomes expensive in electricity, and the fan noise is a problem in a quiet home.
If you use a PS3 for 10 years, 2 hours pr day, you will have used 2000 kWh. What does that cost you compared to 200kWh for a normal player?
