Is not it more useful to buy a game console ansatt a bluray player if you want to watch bluray movies? On the bluray player you can only watch movies, etc. Or is there anyway a difference?

Pl

Better a game console. In the best case a Ps3. They were even able to play 3D movies better than 3D players.

Whether the newer Ps3 can still do that is questionable

Sl

Well, you get a BluRay player from about 60 euro, for a PS4 you pay at least 250 euro…

For most it is simply a waste of money to spend 250 euro if they really only want to watch movies, which they can have with a BluRay player just a lot cheaper

Sl

Even 3D movies

the 3D nonsense is already dead for years!

No manufacturer builds more 3D devices

Pl

That's right. But the Ps3 would be cheaper than the Ps4 and just has the 3D function to do so. Why complain about a free bonus feature

Sl

Why complain about a free bonus feature

if you do not need it but have to pay extra, it is usually pointless…
It is not "free", because you have to pay a blatantly higher price for it
A PS3 costs now still the same as a PS4 and used it can break anytime after a few weeks and who knows if all newer films are supported, the old device will hardly get updates

There are also players for 300 even 400 euro

Sl

Yes, but no Playstation for 60 euro!

If you just want to watch a movie, you do not buy a player for 300 euro, but you can just buy a cheap one for 60 or maybe 100 euro and for those who buy such an expensive branded player, a Playstation is not a serious alternative
