...every few months ? It's hard enough for this flat-earther to figure out how to burn a .iso image to disc, let alone having to download the disc off a flaky internet site. And even if the CE manufacturer mails you a disc, a power glitch in the middle of your firmware update will turn your player into a doorstop.

I also have to agree with the notion the PS3 is a game console whose shape screams "game console". Not very aesthetically pleasing for the snobbish equipment rack.

While it's Blu-ray playback was SOTA at the time (might still be for all I know), it didn't support 5.1 analog outputs. Without an HDMI-capable component, 5.1 analog output is my only access to lossless audio.
