A New Era?
Looks like my PS3 is going to be getting more loving. We recently purchased a 42″ Panasonic plasma television for the living room, complete with 5.1 surround sound, and I must say, even the demos on the PS3 are amazing in 720p, especially with the added sound support. It’s just a pity that most of the games I play on the PS3 are PS2 games – but that may change in a couple of months.
The biggest issue I had with buying a 1080p HDTV was the price of cables. With HDMI and Optical cables seemingly being distributed by price-gougers, I opted for some from Newegg.com and Amazon.com and ended up with 4 HDMI cables, 1 Optical cable, and 1 new component cable around $70 – which is probably about $20 more than one HDMI cable from companies like Monster in the store. So while I’ve saved some money, I’ve still got at least another day or two until my HDMI cables show up – then I can’t wait to see what Blu-Ray has to offer.
After gaming on an SDTV for the longest time, it’s like a breathe of fresh air. It feels like a new era in my gaming life.
