    LG BD390 vs PS3 40gb (Worth Upgrading for picture & sound quality)

    canada16: That would work as welL I dont know how it converts the files, it just works on the PS3. Its like someone giving me 1000,00 and me asking why, just take it for what it is. Not really tech savy when it comes to stuff like that. What spec Pc do you have by the way as ive read that...

    LG BD390 vs PS3 40gb (Worth Upgrading for picture & sound quality)

    canada16: I personally dont think so, would rather the money for speakers or beer or blu-rays, or crack. But its up to you, I would not spend an extra 150 if I already had a PS3. But thats me. Have been thinking and if i drill a few holes in some walls and run an ethernet cable that should...

    LG BD390 vs PS3 40gb (Worth Upgrading for picture & sound quality)

    canada16: HOMEPLUGS, Plug one into wall by PS3 and router or PC and other one by tv were you are streaming media too simples They have one socket, which is ethernet, very straight forward. I can see my entire PC on the PS3 including a passport 320gb external which I stream from as well, and...

    LG BD390 vs PS3 40gb (Worth Upgrading for picture & sound quality)

    canada16: I can stream on the PS3 and no probs with 1080p and a g router, but I would buy homeplugs for this, as you will see stutter, they can be had for 50.00 for the 200mbps ones. For me, I am happy with the PS3 performance, and see no need to upgrade, since ps3 firmware is updated all the...

    Best MP3 player for sound quality?
