The desire for sub-$300 blu-ray players has continued to increase given the popularity of the Playstation3 for just over that amount, and that lets you play games. Lucky for consumers, these prices have not only gone down but features have gone up as the manufacturers continue to embed more and more features (such as Netflix) into their boxes. Sound and […]
Read moreI guess every store just wants to have a kiosk in there for movie rentals. I think it’s good that Redbox is getting some competition.

Read moreAnother feature packed episode of HD Nation from the gang at Revision 3. Covering a wealth of topics from the simple such as blu-ray releases to comparing big name brand LCD’s versus off-brands–a topic which has been discussed for as long as I can remember. Video embedded below for your enjoyment…
Read moreThe competition continues to increase, but what normally is the battle from Extender-devices, this is the first I have seen from the blu-ray players battle.
