Originally posted by: adywanWell i would recommend the PS3. In terms of picture quality the PS3 is amazing for both bluray & DVD. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to test out a couple of bluray players, a samsung and philips, and quality wise they were really inferior to the PS3. the price was slightly more than the PS3 at the time and i just couldn't justify the extra bucks for worse quality. After all not only do you get a player but also a great games console (even though the games available at the moment are pretty crappy). i also think that some of the 1.0 profile players can be upgraded to 2.0 through a firmware update.
I really dig my PS3... its a great Blu-ray/DVD player... ok game machine... way sweet media center for streaming movies and music from your pc. You get a lot of bang for only $400 USD
