Upcoming Patch Tuesday

By Paul | Dec 7, 2008

I wanted to get prepared for the updates for this Tuesday and I thought I’d go through them and list what Microsoft said about each. These are what’s been said on Technet and I am sure there will be more. Each one of these don’t look to serious but I will post Tuesday if there is anything I’ve missed on this post. As you might know this is not set in stone but just the direction of Microsoft for this Months Release.

According to there website It can do this:
* Progressive scan Blu-ray Disc player 1080p capability for higher definition video content
* Full HD 1080p, DVD up-conversion up to 1080p (480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p), 24p, 60p video frame rate
* Multi-channel audio content (supports more advanced Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD)
* BD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD, DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL, CD-ROM, CD, CD-R/-RW
* 16:9 / 4:3 picture select
* On-screen graphical user interface
* Slow motion function (2x – 4x – 8x)
* RW/FF play function (2x – 4x – 8x – 16x)
* VFD display

The price of the unit at Memorex is 269.99$. I think this is a great buy if all you need is a blue ray player. Cheaper than buying a PS3. Although if you want to buy a PlayStation 3 to play games and also watch movies on it that is still a good deal. So why buy this player, this will not play games and keep your happy.
