Hi ppl,
After so much hassle and headache, im decided to pull the plug and go ahead with PS3 as my blu-ray player. haha

I guess PS3 is the best profile 1.1 players out there plus upgradeable in the future with very reasonable cost.
few question before spending the greens:
1. versions. I guess theres quite number of PS3 version out there (asian, japan etc etc) in malaysia suppose to be asian right? so i could play all those blu-ray purchased from amazon?
2. If i use onkyo 605 as a receiver, would i get to enjoy all those holy grail of HD audio (DTS-HD, Dolby True-HD)? from what i understand 605 only accept bitstream for these HD audio? kindly explain..
3. Would DTS-HD MA will be added into the PS3 upgrade in the future?
sorry for the lame questions.

1. Asian/Jap/US all Region A....for blu-ray should be no problem but DVD are region locked
2. If the player can send out as bitstream, then yes, or if the player decode and send as PCM, yes also only those fancy lights won't turn on (PS3 does that except for dts-ma)
3. it is confirm that PS3 can't bitstream dts-ma out but we have hope that it would decode and sent out as PCM.
