The most amuzing part of all this is how harvey normal are selling them as blu-ray players. Considering blu-ray playerss at harvey norman are about $850 versus $1000. I don't see the logic in buying a PS3 just for blue ray playback considering it be worst quality then a stand alone blu-ray player.
Another key thing to remember is that PS3 is a first gen blu-ray player. How do we know it will be able to play more then dual layer discs (same with the first gen blu-ray players). The only answer to this is sony will force movie companies to limit their movies to dual layer max (if the PS3 can't play more then dual layer).
Now i know some of you will want to flame me but thats fine.
When i bought my first dvd player the first day it come out it can only play single layer discs and vcds. Talk about waste of cash.
I am hoping they learned from dvd player mistakes and hopefully future proofed the blu-ray players better, otherwise there is gonna be alot of pissed of customer as I was with my dvd player.
Hence I shall be waiting this time around a good 2-3years before I buy a blu-ray player knowing the fact it can play back everything i throw at it that comes on a blu-ray disc.
