My girlfriend wants a blu-ray player and a wdtv player for the bedroom so what I planned on doing was to get a ps3 instead and I have a few questions:-
1 - Is the blu-ray player on the ps3 as good as the stand alone players?
2 - I have a normal hd player and no external speakers so I was wondering does the ps3 downmix the audio out so that it plays out of the two speakers when watching blu-ray (as they must be 7.1 right)?
3 - Erm can they play dvd? (don't shoot me for asking this one I genuinely don't know).
4 - Can you just plug in a hdd and watch your videos from there?
5 - Can the ps3 run xvid avi files (encoded with mp3 sound)?
6 - Are the slims better than the fat ones?
7 - Is the online as good as xbox live?
8 - Are there any similar games to crackdown/prototype?
I've tried to google this just I keep getting different opinions and no confirmed answer so I went into gamestation today and I go a resounding "No" to all of my questions which didn't seem right to me, so im asking you lot as your normally more well informed
Thanks
