Tempted to buy a PS3 and HDTV...

Booner! · 10 Jul 2007 at 14:43

I have a 360 and Pc with Digital Z5500 Speakers and a Dell 2007wfp connected through VGA @ 720p

However, I am tempted to buy a 32" Samsung HDTV from OcUK and also a PS3 with motorstorm, genji and killzone.

Can anyone advise me at all?
is there a big scene for PS3 yet?
Are the graphics going to look good on a HDTV at 32" @ 720p
Any better than what I currently have?
Am I really missing out?
Is it going to be worth me spending £1000ish?

I am not bored of the 360, but would like better movie playback and looking at blueray as the way forward.

help!!

That is what tempts me

I already have a good idea of how much retailers will be dropping the price by...I by good assumption I know the online price will be even more tempting over the next week or so.

1) Don't get a PS3, mine is used very little and there are hardly any good games
2) Not really, there is a large scene of PS3 bashers though
3) Yes, very good, most games are still 720p and if they are 1080p the PS3 will scale them to 720p
4) Not really
5) No, see point 1
6) depends on how rich you are

I went for a PS3 with a Sony 1080p LCD as I wanted a LCD anyway and got a good offer which basicaly meant getting a free PS3 with two games and an extra controller.

perfect, anybody else care to elaborate on this? any other views?

Would it be cheaper to buy a HDTV and a 360 HD Dvd Drive? What are the benefits here?

i have the feeling that the blue ray format seems to be pushed further than the HDdvd format now... I see blue ray everywhere

Blu-ray not blue ray.

does it really matter?

People understood what I meant...and give me credit where due, I am typing on a blank keyboard (touchtyping)

Back on topic - But is this time the best period to buy a 1080p Tv? Surely better models will be out and cheaper? is it really any improvement over 32" 720p?? :confused:
