    Looking for some input guys.

    I just purchased a new tv (a Samsung HL-T5689S) and was looking into maybe purchasing a stand alone Blu-Ray player. I already have a PS3, and have read some reports that it is one of the best Blu-Ray players on the market. Has anyone compared a PS3 to lets say a Samsung BD-P1400? Also I would need some cables, I love the prices at Monoprice, but are there cables as good as say Monster cables(I have yet to buy ANY Monster cables EVER). But I would need a 9ft. HDMI 1.3 cable, am I loosing any quality by buying Monoprice cables? Thanks guys!

      Monoprice cables are just as good as Monster, Im using both (bought some monster cables brand new on ebay really cheap). As far as getting a stand alone player, I think its a waste. The PS3 is the only blu ray player on the market that can be upgraded. When the new spec blu ray players ship (profile 2.0/BD live capable) your stand alone wont support the features, yet the PS3 will. That coupled with reports saying some 2.0 discs could have issues in profile 1.0/1.1 players I think you would be throwing money away. Especially since PQ and AQ is the same on each.

          Monster cables are the most overpriced cables on the market. Avoid.

          From all reports, the PS3 is still the best Blu-ray player out there.

                      why in the world would you buy a bluray player when you already paid for one in your ps3?
