The Next Hang Out: <insert nintendo here>

This is why I never play mine either. :/ It gets used as a cheap Blu Ray/DVD player/media center.

Are Blu-Ray players with avi/mkv playback via usb more expensive than PS3 consoles where you are?

PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles are relatively expensive here (as many people would probably know already).......but there are Blu-Ray players for less than $150.
The one I have cost $100.......and it even has the same laser unit as the old PS3.
