because of form factor, me no playing games, hd codecs, no built in ir capability and other reasons henning mentioned, i already have a buyer for my ps3... now if i can just find a bd30 for under 400, or atleast a retail deal with some freebies.

By the way, the editor of Widescreen Review, in the latest issue states that the PS3 is the best overall Blu-ray player, with the Panasonic BD30 second.

View profile »You'd think that Home Cinema Choice Magazine wouldn't have a clue about these things? The author mentions stuttering and artifacts not found in SA players, and I would expect they are smart enough to use similar quality (if not identical) cables when comparing the PS3 to SA units. If this is true, then this reaffirms the argument that the PS3 has to have cheaper components in order to compete with SA players, being that it's also a game console. The durability of the components is still mostly up in the air.
I don't think that the purpose of the article was to upset PS3 owners, but to inform potential BR buyers about the shortcomings of the PS3. The system still has the potential to shine with great games, but as a dedicated BR player, I'd have to personally disregard it. I applaud the author for being honest to consumers.

Great post, LH.
I stated earlier that I have yet to see ANY problems on my 60" Pioneer KURO. As my dedicated BD player, the PS3 excels.

View profile »Oh that's just a silly conclusion (your reaffirmation). Additionally, people are using PS3s to drive home theater systems neither you nor myself could ever afford and many are professional installers and IFS engineers that frequent the high-end projector and "Ultra Hi-End HT Gear ($20,000+)" sections at AVSForum. You can believe that if stuttering and artifacts were a problem with Blu-ray playback, it would be the talk of every PS3 home theater user there. But it isn't.
In other words, take every article you see with a BIG grain of salt.
