But I still don't want a PS3 (video game system) to be my Blu-ray player.

Could someone on here PLEASE explain to me why so many people are hung up on this point? Does it make the PS3 any less of a Blu-ray player that it also happens to play video games? I just don't understand. The PS3 is by FAR the best value of any Blu-ray player on the market and it's one of the most future-proof as well. Insisting on buying a standalone simply because it's a standalone that doesn't do any of the other things that the PS3 does do is just...how do I put this delicately...um...narrow-minded? By the way, the PS3 is one of the best Blu-ray players out there on top of all of that, forgetting about the additional functionality altogether. I just don't get hating the idea of a machine doing more than one function. As long as it is a good player (which it is), why NOT buy it and be able to play PS2, PS3, DIVX, H264, WMV, MP4, CD, SACD, MP3 as WELL as Blu-ray? Just doesn't make sense...

CroweDawg1121, I was being sarcastic. I was teasing others whom have said that. As a PS3 owner myself I find that the machine is actually the best piece of electronic eqiupment that I've ever owned.

I agree man, this is the best piece of electronic equipment i have ever owned! Partner it with the Onkyo TX_SR705 and some killer speakers, 7.1 of course, and you have a dream system!

Sony has really hit a home run this time. I am still getting great deals on HDDVD's though so i now have more HD than BR, but when hat is done, it will be all BR.

I also do not even own 1 game for PS3, but have around 30 titles for my 360, which is a far superior machine (for gaming) at THIS time. With GTA4 coming out in April i will be devoting a LOT of my free time to 360!
