This follows on from my thread in the Wii section.
I wanted an affordable HD/ BR player and it was pointed out that the PS3 was a superb choice. True enough, it gets a 5 star review as Blu-Ray deck in what hifi magazine- with the added bonus of Hi def games (hence my uncertainty over whether to keep the Wii). Cool! PS3 seems to be a no brainer! Lets start saving!
However...
I've now seen that you can pick up the Toshiba HD-E1 HD player for an absurd £180- less than half that of a PS3. Since money is an important factor, I can't decide whether to get the Tosh HD or the PS3.
Also- I've asked this before but never got a straight answer: Can the PS3 now upscale DVDs out-of-the-box (without me having to upgrade the firmware)?
PS- if this topic has been covered before could someone dedirect me to the correct thread?
