It is my suspicion that flat screens are not built to last, they are only meant to last 10 years at best.  I still have a CRT from 15 years ago and it is showing no signs of wear and tear and is big enough but doesn't spoil me.  I am going to buy a HD flat screen soon but only as I need some more space in the living room.  But as for a PS3... I have only had a PS2 since this August just gone :-\

A lot of people don't realize that the plasma screen TV's have small gas canisters in them that need replaced every so often.

The LCD one I have say's it's good for 37,000 hrs of viewing, haven't bother to work it out in years.

A little over four years of viewing.

Plasmas are also prone to burn in

eragon is worth watching on Bluray.

Maybe I should have called this a PS3 thread, but another feature of it is that it upscales to 1080p.
Watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy, you can count the scales on the Nazgul.

When I get a chance I will PM you the two folder names you need in the MP_ROOT folder for playing .MP4 and .AVC films and a good prog that only takes 1/2 hr to convert any film from disc to psp.  ;D
