Standalone Sony Blu-Ray Player or PlayStation 3?

I'm in the market to buy a new bluray player at the moment and have been looking at the Sony BDP-S390 or BDP-S390

After gift cards it ends up being $100 for the S390 which is just about right for my budget.

I'm wondering if it's worth spending the extra $100 though and getting a base model PS3?
Bearing in mind I don't really play games and the HDD space isn't that big a deal for me. Is there any reason for me to go with the PS3 over the S390 (Which has built in wifi, DLNA streaming, iphone app compatability etc?).

Would appreciate your thoughts!

  • My parents got one, i never had a blu ray player just a PS3. I one day gave them a movie on a USB stick to let them watch. didnt know how the menu works but i was surprised, menu is the same as the ps3 but slower.

    for me the Ps3 is more user friendly and you can of course entertain yourself if you got no movies to watch a game or even youtube, movieflix whatever its called via wifi!

    I use my mobile Galaxy S3 (play TV function) to search on youtube which is faster and better than pressing left right up down to type what you looking for.

    and if you wanted a bluray remote there are like 20bucks now

    been watching alot of Jackie Chan and bruce lee on youtube recently full movies! what more can you want.
