PS3 versus Xbox 360: High Definition DVD Players

Video Transcript

"TONY RAMIREZ: Hi, my name is Tony Ramirez and this is the high-definition movies and players. Oh, hey. So here's what you're going to do, right? They've got all these high definition gaming systems out today. We've got the Xbox 360 and, of course, the PlayStation 3. Let me explain a little bit about these things. What we got here is, here's the--let's start from scratch. Here's the Xbox 360, right? This is something that you will have to have purchased at first. If you want to do high-definition gaming, of course, this will do it all. But it's going to come out through your component signal, which is your red, green and blue cables that it'll have. This will plug up to the back of your high-definition TV, and then give you a really, really, really good high-definition signal. There is a newer version now, which is the Elite, which has an HDMI cable output. That, of course, will give you the superior sounding quality. But the cables that it does come with the HD cables are great. Now, if you want to watch HD movies, you're going to need the HD expansion box. This box right here cost around $200. Mine just happen to come with "King Kong", which was cool. So I've got a free $30 HD DVD. And, of course, this is an HD DVD player. This plugs in USB to the back of your Xbox and, of course, which will be plugged into your HD DVD--excuse me, HD TV through your component signal. Of course, if you want the HDMI capabilities, you're going to need the Xbox 360 Elite. Then we have-what I say is this--one of the most ultimate machines, the PlayStation 3. This is a Blu-ray player built-in, everything's ready to go. They're starting off at $399 this Christmas season. This has everything. It comes--excuse me, not comes with, but has the capabilities of HDMI. So it'll go HDMI out of the PlayStation 3 into your high-definition TV or you can go optical out for your surround sound from your PlayStation 3 to your TV or to your receiver. So this is probably the all-in-one package--give you the options of high-definition gaming, Blu-ray high definition, of course, content video and pretty much any other playback that has to do with high-definition or anything else, of course, your CDs, DVDs and everything else and it up-converts. That's your PlayStation 3 and your 360."
