DLC I invented modding! Registered: 11/04/02 Posts: 16047 Loc: Lindale, TX (Tyler)	I remember 2 that I thought were hilarious... one where Andy has a valuable nickel and Dr. Kingfish swindles him out of it by performing a "nickelectomy", and then puts it in a pay phone by mistake ! He cracks open the phone to get the nickel and gets arrested The other is Andy's Flying lessons ! HA what a hoot! Some great laughs. _________________________ David (OFI)

six_of_one Pool Bar Registered: 04/19/02 Posts: 4093 Loc: Alexandria, VA	cool! Good to know =) But since I already have a BluRay player and don't really want a gaming system, that wouldn't be such a great solution in my case -- especially at 2-3x the cost of the new Apple TV ... To each their own, though. If I was starting from scratch I might consider a PS3, although I'd have to weigh the fact that I'd be paying in part for the gaming functionality, for which I really have no need =)

John Rougeux Member # -1 Registered: 11/06/08 Posts: 5348 Loc: Louisville, KY	That's what I ran into when we got the PS3....we just didn't use the gaming function hardly at all and the blu ray (to me) wasn't all that overwhelming. So we sold it.

It even converts formats on the fly if the PS3 doesn't support them, to something it does. I like it a lot because the quicktime files my Kodak HD camcorder outputs don't play natively on the PS3. But I don't have to do a thing with them, since PS3 media server converts them on the fly. _________________________ Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!® twitter.com/SgtBaxter facebook.com/Bryan.Eckert

SgtBaxter F'n HO.P.A.® Registered: 05/10/02 Posts: 5244 Loc: Hampstead, MD, USA	That's true, if you don't play games the PS3 might seem like a waste. However, a PS3 is probably less than a decent blu-ray player plus an Apple TV. Does Apple TV do web sites like Facebook? I guess that's a bonus, since the PS3 has a web browser. _________________________ Hey I'm an F'n Jerk!® twitter.com/SgtBaxter facebook.com/Bryan.Eckert
