I have been thinking about getting a blu-ray player for a few months now, and they seem to be priced between $250 - $500. A PS3 is now selling for $299 in my area (Canada) and it contains a blu-ray player. Does the PS3 player lack any special features or extras that a more expensive stand alone player has? Is the player in the PS3 somehow a cheap, or "lite" version of a full player with many features stripped out to reduce the cost? I am just trying to understand why ANYONE would by a stand alone player when for the same price they could have it AND a PS3?



In the absence of evidence to the contrary, always assume you have the upper hand.
