naveen bhai good quality receivers(yamaha,denon) cost atleast 25k .

@wayne , Just get a Creative Decoder(~7k) , connect PS3 or Xbox optical cable to it n then connect audio-out(RCA cables) of it to your existing theatre setup .

I Always Prefer 1080p
I own a Dell E248WFP 24" LCD Monitor which has a DVI-D and VGA Connector.
Can I connect the PS2 to my LCD Monitor and get the same effects ?
I know for sure that True HD is not possible as HDMI Connector as well as HDMI is required for that.But I have an archive of HD Rips @ 720p and 1080p.

I was actually looking to upgrade my PC to a Quad Proc, ASUS Board,
3 GB DDR 2 RAM and with a good graphic card.
My current PC config is P IV 3.2 Ghz HT, 1 GB DDR 400 RAM and XFX 6200 nVIDIA Graphic Card.

I completely agree with you with respect to playback of 1080p Videos.
I am not able to play any 1080p movies I have downloaded till now which have a resolution of 1920*1040 or 1920*816.
I am able to play videos encoded in 1920*800 resolution

If PS 3 is able to play HD Videos without issues then I think I will go for PS 3 rather than 30 K PC Upgrade which will not play games in about a year pointing out certain reasons.

Finally, awesome review. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the opinion dude, but there seems to be a small problem now in me buying PS3. I have been given the task of evaluating both Microsoft
SCCM 2K7 and SCOM 2K7 within the next 3 months. I don't think my current computer has got the capacity to support 5 VMs in VMWare Workstation.
So I have to go for a PC sadly even though I want a Gaming Console:mad:
Also what makes me bewildered is the cost of games for PS3.
I was literally amazed that games costed somewhere between Rs.1500-2000
This is also making me think twice before going for the PS3

its ok then... upgrade ur pc .. finish the job and get ps3 later...

but do rememebr .. now HDDVD out of topic.. there if offlately a sheer price increase in bluray playters....and we are not sure whether there may be price increase in future...
ps3 now retails @ 25k....
keep that in mind...

here is a interesting article on why ps3 still isnt hacked....

hey dude, great review..I was also planning on buying a gaming console, but confused btw the xbox360 and ps3, have posted a thread-*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=85061

But I would be interested in the 80GB version, and also how much did your HDMI cable cost?...the current TV i have supports only 1080i, is urs full HD?

My only consideration of the xbox is the mods out there, and the games are more reasonably priced.

Hows the heating and stuff, any issues thus far?...overheating? how long have u continously played on ur console?

Pls let us know. Thanks!
