"the first profile 2.0 standalone player, panasonic's dmp-bd50, debuted this spring at an msrp of $700. that's $300 more than the ps3, for a machine with a blu-ray feature set that's not much different. frankly, there are few reasons to buy any blu-ray player other than the ps3."
"part of the reason that standalone machines have struggled so much is that the ps3 is still the all around best blu-ray player on the market. the console loads discs faster, is signinificantly less glitchy, has more features, and has more frequent firmware upgrades than most standalone units, even those from the fourth hardware generation. plus the ps3 plays video games, and it's one of the lease expensive blu-ray playback devices available."

basicly the article was just stressing the fact that blu-ray in general seems to be the ps3's movie format...and not too many people are interested in standalones, or even the format itself.
