RE: Once and for All: Why Are People Objecting to Buying "A Game Console" for Blu-Ray?

David, racer, thanks for weighing in.

David,
I hear you on the audio issue, but I think, with the current/future gen surround receivers/amps all having HDMI, should this still be a stumbling block? I currently run an older Yamaha receiver w/o HDMI, so I do DolbyDigital or DTS at the moment, but the next one will of course have it.

I didn't think of the remote control issue. I use the optional Bluetooth remote Sony makes for the PS3. Ok, control convenience can be a strike against it.

Are there any players that play region-free Blu-Rays? I am curious.


racerguy,
The noise issue seems indeed to vary, according to some posters. I have pretty good ears and I am 12 ft. from the screen. I can honestly say I don't hear it, but if there are significant production variances in the units, I can understand your reluctance, unless as David says, it's down to too constricted placement. For hook-up issues, see above.

CC.
