subject: Viewing Movies And Tv Like Never Before [print this page] There are so many high tech devices for your home to make your life a little bit easier. There are computers and television, with ll the things that go with them like speakers and DVD players. You have video game consoles that pretty much can act as a computer when it comes to downloading entertainment and content from the internet.
If there are children in the house, these consoles are a must. If you don't already own you're your kids will hound you until they have one. Where as they once they were only used to play games, the capabilities they now possess are amazing. PS3 play DVD's and Blu-ray discs as well. If you haven't been fortunate to watch a DVD with BD, you have to try it. The difference is astonishing. The clarity and realism it brings to the screen is something everyone needs to experience at least once. You may get so hooked; you will never purchase another DVD with BD again.
Iron Man and Star Trek look wicked awesome on BD and it is like watching it in the theater, only better because no one is kicking your chair from behind and the floor isn't sticky. A stand alone Blu-ray player can be found for less than two hundred dollars, but for that price, you might as well get yourself a PS3 and gain all of its other benefits.
Some of the features offered with the game systems are downloading of your favorite's music tunes and pictures. You can even access the web but I wouldn't choose this as the primary computer source. You can access all kinds of television shows, movies and of course still play your favorite games. Tennis, anyone?
Just be sure to hook the console to the television with an HDMI cable, which for the price of the console you would think was included, but it isn't. You have to buy your own. They can get pretty expensive, ranging from under twenty dollars all the way up to a hundred dollars. Most people wouldn't be able to tell the difference between most of the cables and don't really need the top of the top of the line. I never recommend getting the cheapest either, find something in the middle and you will probably be happy with the results. You do need this HDMI cable to watch the shows in HD though.
