But, and this is a real question: why can no HTPC I've seen match even a PS3 quality for BD playback? And for $300 mind you.
Oh yeah, I'm sure there are some out there. I vaguely remember seeing a demo of one at a show. Its price was many times what a PS3 or BDP-83 (say) costs so I didn't pay much attention. Seemed more suitable for something like a pro development tool than something I would use at home, and since cost is of some significance...
I do like the idea though. And I do read some HTPC forums. Just haven't been impressed enough to want to dick around with it, and there is a LOT of dicking around required. My time isn't worth that much LOL, but a stand-alone is cheap enough and will be "junk" in a few years anyway, any PC even more so. I am a bit resistant to fooling around with computers at home when it's my job...and if I was in my 20s, say, this would be a lot more appealing and even a fun hobby (which it seems to be to everyone I know who uses an HTPC). I used to love fooling around with gear and building it, now I just want to set it up properly, once, and use it until it's time to throw it out...old fart syndrome.
