PS3 bluray player is great but only when playing bluray discs. You will start to hate it as soon as you play a regular DVD on it. The reason is because PS3 is not equipped with a high-performance upscaler that can upscale your standard definition DVDs to 720p or full HD quality to match your HD LCD tv. But standalone bluray players are mostly equipped with upscaler chips such as HQV (Hollywood quality Video) on samsung bluray player or SHARC chip (on pioneer bluray players) and the output quality of these players is unbeatable when you compare it with PS3 playing a regular DVD.
So spend your money wisely. I have a DVD collection of over 650 movies so i wanted a bluray player that can upscale these to HD resolution for my HD LCD tv. And after hours of walking on the humid streets of Doha, I finally bought the BD370 from LG and I am more than happy with the results.
I recently purchased an LG BD370 bluray player which had a special promotion, ie it came bundled with 2 bluray movies of my choice. The price is QR 1220 and the 2 movies are worth 320 - 380 in Qatar so it was a great deal.
If you are looking for a multi-region bluray player then im afraid you wont find it in qatar. Personally, you shouldnt bother much about the player being multiregion because many great bluray titles come all-region. Check out Amazon.com or amazon.co.uk or visit Virgin to check the bluray movies region.
I think some people are confused when it comes to regions on DVD and bluray. DVD has 9 regions, each for a specific part of the world such as DVD region 1 is US and canada. Bluray region division is different and it has only 3 regions that are A, B and C. A is US, canada etc. B is europe, middle east, africa and C is the rest of the world.
The LG bluray players can play ALL REGIONS OF DVD but not all regions of bluray. So if you have a huge collection of DVDs of various regions, you can enjoy them all with the LG bluray player but when buying bluray discs, you have to make sure that the title you buy is either region B or ALL-REGION A, B, C.
There are some Blu Ray players which are hacked to be region free. The asking price of these is very high. I guess I'll have to wait.Region code 2 DVD's is for both the Middle East and asiaIts Region A, B & C also that matters, B is for middle East and C is for India.
I dont believe Blue Ray will allow multi region playback...
With Blue Ray there will be more content protection. Although Blue Ray drives/players are available in the market there are still not that many Blue-Ray DVDs available.
I think region protection ruined the joys of DVD. Why would I buy a Region 2 DVD here only to find it is not working in India?
i think the practical blueray player is the playstation 3 you can wathch movie and also play games and with wifi can connect to your PC media files wireless and watch video and photo from your PC to your TV
