A BluRay player (BDP) is about the only source that will give you 1080p, without scaling. Most BDPs will upscale a standard DVD so you wont have to replace your collection. A PS3 used to be the most inexpensive BDP, but that has changed now. hepcat is right though, no BDP will play games as well..Try a pawn shop to save you a few bucks....

Dont spend more than a few bucks on an HDMI, monoprice.com has them very reasonable. Most new BDPs will stream Neflix, Blockbuster, Pandora, etc already, just need a network connection in the back...

If you spent the money on a 1080p TV you should go ahead and get something to take advantage of that. Blu-Ray is really the only thing that will allow you to utilize your TV.

I still think the PlayStation 3 is the best on the market and does a poo load more than any other player. Downloadable content, games, wireless or wired network connection, etc.

You can get a decent Blu-Ray player for about 1/3 of the cost of a PS3 though, last time I looked.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
