Reasonable on 21 January 2008
I would say that the PS3 is the first console really designed to support movie playback as well as playing games - i.e. the movie playback is not a secondary concern but equal to gaming.
I guess this fact has caused more argument than anything regarding the PS3 but should bode well if you want to use it to watch movies. I've had PS3 for 6 months to watch movies and play games and no problems. Given that the machine is touted as a BR player heavily I'd be pretty upset if it didn't hold up exactly the same as a standalone BR player.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
