£300 Blu-ray Test - Sony PlayStation 3

tech: £300 Blu-ray Test - Sony PlayStation 3

July 9 2008 | WilHarris

For the final part of our cheapie Blu-ray group test we’re looking at the Sony PS3. It’s at the high end of the price point - nipping in at £299 - but given that you get a high-end games console for it as well as the Blu-ray functionality, it’s a rather decent deal. Watch the video for my verdict.

Also don’t forget to spend just a couple of minutes taking our ChannelFlip Reader Survey - you can win some awesome prizes including a Flip camcorder and a crate of Asahi beer!

The PS3 has had 24fps since firmware 1.80, though it may need to be turned on in the settings.

As Mark says under ‘BD/DVD settings’ there is an option for ‘BD 1080P 24Hz output’ where you can set it to On, Off or Automatic.

Also, The PS3 has supported profile 2.0 for a while now. Therefore it is the ULTIMATE Blu-Ray player. Haha
