playstation 3 as a blu ray player - any good?
Xtras:
Sony Blu-Ray players are the best (it is their tech after all). The PS3 was once upon a time THE best blu-ray player on the market. Now, I'd have to say the sony BDP-S350 and its twin the BDP-S550 top it (speed and price) but do note all the fancy features the PS3 sports that keeps it the honorary first.

Buy the PS3. Why? Because when a new bluray profile pops up, it's almost guaranteed to be supported by the PS3. Plus you can play games on it if you're a gamer.

Tried several laptops, PC's and media players and the only way I can play all the 1080p anime from bakabt on my huge HDTV with good quality video and 5.1 DTS, AC3 etc sound is by streaming it from my PC across the network via wired connection to my PS3 using PS3 Media Server.(with hdmi to tv and optical to sound system from ps3). Though some formats are transcoded. So yer PS3 is a great media player/blu-ray player.
If anyone has any other idea of how I can do it with out any loss to sound or it being transcoded that would be great.

I was thinking about getting a PS3. I wasn't going to get it for a blu ray player because my computer plays it already. It was cheaper to buy a rom drive for my desktop. Right now the PS3 is very cheap at my store. You get 2 games, an extra controller, and the PS3 80gig for $330. Now that is cheap.
