Topic: Buy BD player & movies or buy PopCorn hour?

[ment]

sirs,

i have the same dilemma as the thread starter. right now I'm choosing from investing in Popcorn Hour C200 or the Oppo BDP-83. i share the opinion of sir oreoshake with regards to what titles to get from bd and not.

here's the thing. i use my pc to download files. I need a small nmt to use it to play those files using a flash drive (hard disk can come later). was already setting myself to invest in ps3 slim + egreat m34a. the egreat will be moving from the living room to our bedroom from time to time

but when i saw the oppo player and the pch c200, it changes everything

need your suggestions, sirs. i plan to get one by the year end as a reward for myself.

fyi: i plan to use ps3 for movie watching and some gaming. but i find wii to be better for me since i could work out while playing games  

you should not have passed off the php 6.6K samsung bp1500 bluray player i texted you weeks ago now my officemate is reaping its reward

madugo ang BD video but if you choose your title purchases wisely then its affordable. lalo dito sa forum natin madaming sellers that sells their Bds at friendly prices

in my opinion about files playable in NMT ... it is dependent sa know-how ng nag back-up ng mkv file. some copies are not satisfying ang hina dialog biglaNG BA BA BOOOM!!![/B]

mukhang mabigat bro... bd-rom i saw are expensive... plus the cost of bd discs
if u hav budget constraints, nmt is the way to go

sir, mabigat in terms of weight...

di ko pa plano bumili nung bd player (baka hindi ako bubuhayin ni mrs sa gastos  )
nmt talaga balak ko... but nung makita ko yung c200, naisip ko na maybe I can get the best of worlds.  kesa bumili ako ng 2 separate units.

nagwiwish nga ako na sana maging bd ang Wii.

[DOM]

hehehe.. thanks again from both me and my friend

[moejun]

cool, i still think that the bdp1500 is the sexiest player out there. glad he's enjoying it!!!

[toyfanatic]

 ako both, yung mga movies na talagang fav mo buy them sa BD and yung hinde naman download na lng MKV.

 they have almost have the same quality....

[warmaster]

my solution here is to get a bd player that has USB capabilities to play divx and mkv. you get to play dvd, blu ray and digital files stored on hdd

[barrister]

Getting a separate media player would still be the best approach. 

It's unlikely that a usb player built into a disc player will be as good as a standalone media player.  Sure, media files will play on a BD player with mkv capabilities.  But sooner or later, you're going to run into some problems.

With a narrow field of specialization, you get the advantage of quality performance.  That's true not only for video players, but also for doctors, lawyers, etc. ...     

[joelsoldao]

I agree with Sir Barrister.

Buy both   It would be costly alright if you have a BD player but at times also it's worth it if you are really serious in PQ & SQ , NMTs saves you alot but it has also its downsides like download time & the PQ, SQ are not really at PAR w/ the BLU-RAYS. These are just my 2cents, just choose what really would satisfy you for long term usage that would be the most important part, Goodluck
