Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what an HTPC can do. But it has to be better than a PS3 for $300 for playing BD. And not with further compressed video either, it's already REALLY compressed on a BD. And of course the HD audio. I just want a BD to look as good as it can, anything less than a PS3 isn't acceptable, not even a bit less (naturally, since I have the PS3 already). I always say, when people bug me (they expect I of all people would use an HTPC), that the PS3 *is* an HTPC. Except that it's not a PC LOL. So an A/V computer then. I do have Linux on it, but of course can't access any of the good stuff to do the A/V as "well" as Sony can. Putting Linux on a PS3 is about as far as I'll go dicking around with "PCs" in my own time. Maybe the PS4 will be more up my alley. The PS3 I think is a great proof of concept of what a pre-assembled tightly-integrated HTPC can do, so I'm convinced from that perspective.Edit: oh yeah, as far as that display "ghost" I claim to see, it is, according to other people, about as much physical reality as any other ghost. Maybe my memory is super-imposing itself from what I swear I did see once. Anyway, that bit of IR is normal for modern plasmas, it does go away very soon. I say I can see it when there's no signal into the display, which is no way to use an HT system anyway (but could be misleading in stores as plasmas are not "black" with no signal in).
