Re: obsolete: Yet again the reason to buy a PS3...it really has shown its 'futureproofyness' so far.

]]> <![CDATA[Panasonic's DMP-BD30K Blu-ray Player Goes DivX Certified]]> This makes me smile at my ps3 for already having the features. For the cost paid for a blu-ray player, the benefit for purchasing the PS3 becomes fairly close depending of course on how much you like gaming. It's a fairly cheap media center unit and with each introduction of new features it sets it ahead fairly well. Now that HD-DVD is dead investing in a ps3 isn't a bad idea as compared to a media center pc which usually costs more than a media center pc purchased in a bundle a la walmart. Of course the media computer is better, but the ps3 is looking rather good in the cost vs. benefit now that Blu-Ray has become the standard format.

Also no price, so one can assume a boat-load of Euros like every other BD player.

Europeans love region coding, right? Have some more.

BTW, does Blu-Ray still adhere to region coding and these NTSC, PAL and SECAM crap?
according to this they do.

(NTSC/PAL is not relivent to the disk itself, just any analogue output from the player. See NTSC& PAL posts in Wikipedia)

What would really be cool would be a multiregion, multi format (by this I mean read and output NTSC, PAL and SECAM. Blu-Ray player. BTW, does Blu-Ray still adhere to region coding and these NTSC, PAL and SECAM crap?

These players will never support all of the video formats and containers anyway. For viewing those, it would be beter to attach a media center PC (Mac mini, Mythbox or WMC box). Give me a player that will handle all the media and a computer that will handle all the formats.

.mkv is just a container, it isn't particularly special. The codecs are. You can get similar results with AVI. I convert all of the .mkv's I acquire to .avi (which doesn't involve re-encoding the video) for playing on my Xbox.

The REAL question is, will there be firmware updates for new codec support, and new BluRay features, etc.

If the answer is no, then I'll stick with a PS3.

Any word on XVID/OGG compatibility?
