Thinking of buying A lg 570 for around $165.00 And then i spoke to one of my friends and they said I should go out and buy a PS3 Right now the 160gb version is on sale at Best Buy for $299 plus you get a $50.00 gift card now Is the PS3 worth the difference Not going to use it to play games

The PS3 streams Netflix, has its own download video service, plays Youtube, and can also store movies, photos, and music on its HDD or stream from a home server. It's also 3D ready and firmware can be easily upgraded.p to add new features. It's also one of the fastest loading players in its price range.

By the way, wrong forum.
 
I would go with a 3d one at this point.

Disney alone is releasing 20 3d movies this year so I think we are only a year or two away from 3d movies being the norm, especially for computer animated movies.

I'd be willing to bet you're wrong. Until every movie released is in 3D, every channel is 3D, and every home has one...it will never be the norm. It's niche, will always be niche.

That is until 3D TVs do not require glasses (people already wear glasses and thus can't use the 3D goggles), and are as cheap as regular HD sets are now.

As for the OP, I'd recommend a PS3 also. It does everything a Blu-Ray player should. Handles every format, loads quickly, reads BD-R/RE media of all types easily, does netflix, 3D, streams media from your PC, isn't a bad upscaling DVD player (not the best but good). It's a good device IMO. It doesn't play every media file format, but for Blu-Ray it works great.

Don't forget Hulu as well as Vudu. PS3 seriously almost does everything. It's why I sold my Xbox for one.
