So far, my DVD player was the only companion for my TV and now I have decided that I have had enough of it. Not only is it so old generation, I have come to expect more from such a device.
The first thing i was looking to get was a HTPC (Home theater PC) to achieve anything that one could possibly imagine. I could game on it, browse the web, literally play all the movie formats and resolutions, can manage storing or playback of TV channels through a TV tuner and what not. But the only thing is that it will cost much more and I haven't yet used such a thing anywhere and so not sure how would it all turn out to be.
Then thought about the WD media player which can play movies upto 1080p from any external hard disk or any flash drive. It was costing a little more than $100 and can play many file formats. But I was still not convinced.
The stand-alone blu-ray players are very expensive and so a playstation 3 would suit my needs much better as it has Wi-fi, networking support, gaming, blu-ray player and the typical movie playing,etc.
So far my mind is on HTPC or the PS3. Will decide this weekend about which one i am going to purchase.
