yeah, but bluray player for that cheap a shit.

ps3 is still one of the most affordable bluray player around, and its also the 2nd best bluray player there is, the best one is more than twice the cost.

For $129 you get a Blu Ray player with a remote or universal remote.

For $299 you get a Blu Ray player where you have to use a controller.

Functionally that is more important when they both play the discs identically.

they dont play the disks identically though. ps3 plays them back superiorly, just check cnet, up until a few months ago the ps3 was what the tested all of their HD tv's and blurays on because it was the best (now its 2nd best). also a controller is hardly inconvienent, and i doubt people would care (i know i dont) and if they wanted to they could buy a $20 dollar remote from amazon, which i know adds cost but not much, and they still dont need to (i have because it serves no purpose to get one, and ive owned a ps3 since 2006, with a major intent to use it for bluray playback)

It either plays back Blu Ray or it doesn't. Being marginally better in ways which don't really matter doesn't actually matter, get it? Blu Ray exceeds the requirements of most people and often the capabilities of their TV sets to display it properly.

Finally you can't expect people to spend 20 years using remotes and then instantly want to forget about that and use the PS3 controller, mass market people anyway.

not all bluray players are created equal.

also ps3 supports alot more audio tracks than most bluray players, also you have to take into account other the other features it has (directly related to movie watching (not even counting the games)

and what you say still doesnt mater, there are quality differences in bluray players and ps3 is the 2nd best and very cheap.

if some incompetant cant use a controller, then they can buy a remote for it. but not having a remote is a non issue and doesnt take away from the value or the quality of bluray play back that the ps3 has. but really the remote thing is a complete non issue
