"CONCLUSION: NO REAL DIFFERENCE IN IMAGE QUALITY

Throughout this duel, we've seen that no matter what device you use—whether it's a PlayStation 3, a basic Blu-ray player or a high-end model—the sharpness and colour fidelity of your Blu-ray discs will effectively be identical and equally as faithful to the source."

Heh.

I must rectify something though. I didn't mean image quality was 'bad' in absolute terms, I meant there's a noticeable difference in a bad way. There's detail that's not present, or noticeably blurred (even if that's too strong a word). Either way, I doubt my eyes selectively leave out detail and sharpness on one image while showing it on the other. My PS3 actually has a better HDMI cable than the blu-ray, and they're both on the same tv.

So something's up anyway, and if PS3's are supposed to be almost the same I guess I'm just unlucky and mine's got a disc-drive with issues. It's a launch model still, but the 'problem' has been there since the very beginning. At least it still works.
