Have you seen a review on blu-ray that is favorable? The PS3 is an entry blu-ray player. Nothing more and it won't be anything more. But honestly we are splitting hairs here. I just wanted to note that you can get a cheaper blu-ray option, that is no longer the PS3. Let's say the PS3 gets the much famed price drop to $500 (since the 20 gig model doesn't exist). Blu-ray will be down to at least $300 then. Making the PS3 a significant investment for blu-ray.
