Home Entertainment Systems

Blu-Ray has been around for a while now and has led me to ask myself this question - is blu-ray now the norm?

Although you can pick up Cheap Blu Ray Players, some priced just over the £100 mark, te higher spec models are still in the high £200 to even £400 mark and when it comes to a format where quality is the key, shelling out on a cheap budget model is not always for the best.

It is this point that makes me thing that more people are still buying DVD’s then are buying Blu-Ray discs, and I still feel DVD’s will have a place in the market even when Blu-Ray does become more popular, more accessible and possibly the norm. One factor that has helped the emergence of Blu-Ray is the inclusion in the Playstation 3 games console and the possibility of this also been included in next revisions on the Xbox 360 and Wii.

Still the whole idea of having a gaming machine to be the center of your home entertainment system and be there to play high quality movies still baffles me. Its like having an iPhone and playing games on it all the time instead of hainvg something like a DS or PSP to do that. It does the job is a fashion but no where near as well as a piece of kit whose primary goal is to offer you the best quality movie playback possible.

If you are in the market be sure to check out the different players and read some Blue Ray Player Reviews before making your purchase. You still find that there are plenty of makes and models to choose from and a quick read and search will often show you of any known faults or issues certain players might have.
