If you've seen the receiver of a Bose Lifestyle system, then that's what a PS3 is like. Now, as for controlling it, yes you can from the remote, and I'm not too sure about the front. I can ask though. I can't tell you what this feels like since I haven't done it. I do have a regular Sony BD Player, and it's just like any DVD player use to be. Now, If PS is the way you think you want to go, then why not weight for the PS4? Or even the X Box 1 now I think of it. Whilst we are on this subject, may I just bring it back to PC for a moment? I want to rant about Power DVD. It's not accessible any more. The newer it gets, the worse it gets. Well, at least now you can start the movie, kind of, and you can pause should you have to go to the bathroom or something. But You can't skim threw the movie, and as far as I recall, you can't skip chapters. So much for using a Home Theater PC for Blu-Ray. Now, some say VLC can play BDs' is that so? Has any one here tried it?

This subject is of great interest to me, I've built a Hi-Fi system for the den and I'm still looking around for a decent and flexible Blueray player. I was listening to the tech show on KFWB ad a caller came in with exactly the same sort of question I have, "Can You recommend a good BlueRay player?" and the answer was a Sony Play Station III. I can understand the presenters thinking here, the Play Station III has plenty of processing power and is updated frequently by Sony, all fair points. Having never seen a Play station III I'm wondering if others have seen them and can perhaps give a brief description, I'm of the understanding that the size of a Play Station III is around the size of a typical set top box, is that right? Can the Play Station be controlled to play Blueray Discs from a remote control unit or perhaps buttons on the front? ********** Dane Trethowan Skype: grtdane12 Phone US (213) 438-9741 Phone U.K. 01245 79 0598 Phone Australia (03) 9005 8589 Mobile: +61400494862 Fax +61397437954 To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [email protected] To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [email protected]
