Is a PS3 a good blu-ray player?

Best one for the price. PS3 is losing money selling them.  Ps3 is the only future-proof bluray too. It will be able to handle bluray 2.0 unlike many bluray players on the market right now.

Thank you for the reply, and the link you provided. It was an interesting read, but it was dated from 2008. Do you know how far away blu-ray 2.0 is, or is it already here and I just don't realize it?

It's already available, it's called BD-Live. It adds a bunch of features but it requires your player to be networked to access them. That's why the PS3 Wi-Fi makes these features easily accessible.
