Should go in the Xbox one thread, or the conspiracy theory forum really.
Nah it's another reason I wouldn't lay down £300-600 deposit 6 month early on a device that can watch me fap.
I haven't seen any deletedIn fact there's one on the last page about it.
I got deleted then in the post immediately after I'm quoted ! Had to laugh...
DNLA, full Smart Hub. Most cheap players only had a few apps or so. Since some of my TV's don't have Smart Hubs. From most of the reviews I've seen most cheap Blu-Ray players were quite poor with DVD upscaling. Most didn't have optical. Some didn't have Ethernet or WiFi. Plus most of the reviews the cheap players had somewhat fairly loud disc spinning.
I personally love whisper quiet players.
All depends on the reviews. Most of the cheap players have limited file types and specific formats for DNLA. I always kept reading problems with a certain amount of MKV's.
Then that's just a case of changing the rules to suit them then if that is the reason they've deleted them. The rules in PC gaming state:
i paid £320 december 1996 from a toy store with a giraffe as a mascot. it was with demolishim derby. i remember the day well
in 1992, my parents paid nearly £1k for an acorn archimedes package.
your point about technology progress reflecting price increase is both valid and invalid. with new procedures comes a reduction in technology prices. if microsoft have set an RRP of over £450 they are cutting a lot of potential customers out of the market.
of course, if you're shrewd, you'd order 5 and sell them on an auction site when the christmas demand outstrips supply
if console gaming is not their target market, they'd be foolish to have high stock levels.
Yes but what good is a loud PC drive when you have to have your computer running that a standalone player does better. Plus uses very little power and can be quickly carried between rooms.

I would bet anyone a tenner right now that it'll be closer to £300 than £600. My personal guess is £399.99

You may want to call him a nutjob, but it is a very real thing, some companies want to be able to detect how many people are watching something at a given time in an attempt to extract more money from them by claiming that they only hold a license for X amount of viewers and that they have exceeded it.
As far as I know, it's a very real thing that the NFL has been looking in to and wants to try and implement.
The 360/ps3 is loud when spinning discs compared to a stand alone player but they are constantly spinning the discs up reading data moving the laser from one section to another very quickly etc.
load a dvd (or for the ps3 a BR) film in a PS3/360 and they spin the disc slower and dont need do the read/seek on the disc like the do with a game and are much quieter.
I have a feeling it'll be £399 as well.

That's all extras and nice things to have. Worth paying extra for if you want but dont have those in your other gear, yes. That doesnt really make them any better at playing bluray though. to throw a different opinion in to the pot - I wouldnt waste my shiny bluray player on MKVs, i think it's somewhat a waste. I had no other way of playing them then maybe, but my pc does a grand job of that anyway.
It's worth noting that ethernet is mandatory for bd profile 2.0 (aka BD-Live). Profile 2.0/BD-Live was introduced 5 years ago, so the only players you'll find without Ethernet are probably only useful as doorstops these days
