Best of the Blu-ray players: Sony PlayStation 3 80GB

Price: $400

Thumbs up: The PS3, which can be upgraded to Profile 2.0 via high-speed Internet, offers an excellent picture (1080p output via an HDMI port) and top sound quality (7.1 Dolby TrueHD audio). Even DVDs look great on this machine. Along with the Pioneer, it was the fastest we tested at loading movies.

Thumbs down: You need an adapter to use a universal remote, as there's no infrared sensor. If you're over 30, you'll hate the joystick controller. Also, the PS3 eats power.

The big picture: This isn't a toy - it outperformed or equaled pricier rivals. For the price, it can't be beat.

Other Blu-ray players reviewed:

* Sony BDP-S350 = B
* Samsung BD-P1500 = B
* Panasonic DMP-BD50 = B-
* Samsung BD-P1500 = C

But the BluRay functionality in the Ps3 is simply outstanding

PSN isn't actually that bad now. There isn't the massive gap between PSN and XBL that there used to be. In fact I do believe the NXE made XBL now slightly less user friendly than PSN. Kudos to Sony for sticking with it.

I think this is really amazing... The PS3 is just an all around fantastic piece of hardware!

Out of 4 STAND ALONE blu-ray players, the PS3 comes out on top. You'd think that a piece of hardware designed specifically for one application (like a blu-ray player) would be better than a piece of hardware that is muli-functional.

The PS3 just offers such great value for the price.

wow, thats one hell of a blu ray run down.

i'm glad i have my two ps3's and hope to get my third when the next price drop happens.

‘GTA V Gets Pulled from PS Plus as PC Players Continue to Favor Legacy Over Enhanced’

That’s an awful clickbait title. The use of the word ‘as’ means the first statement is the result of the second, when in reality they’re not connected.

Also the same for red dead redemption 2 and GTA trilogy (albeit they split that into individual games)

Tacoboto1d 6h ago

It just got put back on Game Pass recently too.

GTA V is the pass-around sub title, and it probably doesn't even matter because everyone owns a copy or even two by now.

Trash article and trash website.

Doesn't even mention WHEN it's leaving.

Noticed my copy of gta5 on Steam was already upgraded without me doing anything. How can you still play the legacy version?

Shiore2u6h ago

There should be a second listing right under it in your library.

Is there anything wrong with the enhanced version if you’re just playing single player?
