Is the PS3 really the best Blu-Ray player on the market? That's... kinda sad if true KG.

How is that sad? The ps3 is a kickass Blu-Ray player, that is continually improved via firmware updates. At first, it was around the level of the Sony BDP-S100 (the first Sony standalone palyer) in terms of PQ, but couldn't upscale DVDs or output 1080p/24. Now it can do both those things, and still keeps up with the latest players in terms of PQ. It's not a sad thing for the other players on the market, but a testament to the strength of the ps3.

And things are only going to improve from here.  From gamesindustry.biz:

Sony technical officers Izumi Kawanishi and Kanehide believe there's room for 30 to 40 per cent more improvement in the PS3 as an audio-visual piece of kit via future firmware updates.

[...]

"The scary thing about the PS3 is that we can continue to add updates as long as there is space on the HDD," concluded Kawanishi. "We won't stop though, since adding new functionality is a lot of fun. We really enjoy getting feedback from the customers, and finding things we really hadn't thought of."

Your statement shows that people really don't understand the capabilites of the ps3, and this is why it sells so pitifully.
