This is probably not the most neutral forum in which to pose this question, but I'm not sure where else to ask it. MY father-in-law bought me a Sony stand alone Blu Ray disc player for my recent birthday and immediately let me know that it would be okay for me to return it if I preferred a PS3 instead.
The player is the Sony BDP-S300, which runs $399, the same as a 40GB PS3. My question is will I lose some Blu Ray playback quality with the PS3, or is it the same bit-rate/1080 picture that the S300 produces?
Lastly, is it worth it to go the extra $100 to get the 80GB MGS PS3 instead of the 40GB? I've always been an Xbox guy and this will be my first Playstation, except for a PSP, so I'm just looking for a little input.
THANKS!!
