-I'm really not interested in video games, so that's one strike.
-I've heard lots about how the PS3 is noisy/has fans and that's a big strike 2. I am very picky about noises. My Pioneer DVD recorder has a very quiet fan, still bugs me during quiet parts of a movie.
-Grant, can you pause the movie? I think somebody's at the door/the phone is ringing/the dog is barking/let's get some popcorn, etc. Wait, no remote, serious?
-What about those who don't have HDMI hookup in our current system and don't plan on changing that any time soon.
This is some sort of crazy baseball game; 4 strikes and still at bat. :) Will I get a BD player, maybe some day. Would it be the PS3 with all those strikes, don't think so.
I'm pretty sure I've seen multi-region players, do a Google/AVSForum search.
