Gravelrash Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Saw a demo in Airport Plaza and the clarity is much better than DVD. I have been here a while so haven't seen the HDTV in the home country, as such it was interesting. Sony players are selling at 30,000 baht which of course isn't cheap, but would expect prices to drop as more brands come on the market. For the well heeled there is also a Sony blueray unit at 70k that is also a computer with a remote keyboard so that the TV is the monitor. Player is even supposed to improve the look of your current DVD collection. Apparently there is a shop near Wat Prasing that sells the blueray discs.

BlackArtemis Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Buy a sony PS3 for 15,000 baht instead :shrug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) Now that Sony's BlueRay for all practical purposes has won the HD battle against competing platforms (HD), consumers no longer are on the fence as to which way to go. Also this time around Sony is going to license the technology to other vendors (after learning their lesson with the BetaMax versus VHS blunder), BlueRay players from big box stores in the west are running ~ $350 - $400, and will steadily go down, next year look to see players for ~ $200 or less, Edited June 2, 2008 by cobra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravelrash Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Didn't realise the PS3 was blueray and substantially cheaper to boot, not to mention that the kids just may also see it as an acceptable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucifer Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 The only difference between the PS3 and a Sony 'stand-alone' Blu-ray player, is that the stand alone makes standard DVD's look better on a high-def. TV. Maybe worth paying if you have many DVD's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
