yes, and one of them is me! haha smile.gif

i wouldn't say PS3 is the best valued BD player out there because of its entirely depends on your situation:

a) "I-just-wanted-my-movies-to-look-damn-nice-on-my-new-hdtv kinda guy"
then PS3 will become the best value yet. Price of RM1300-1400 is the cheapest blu-ray player available in M'sia. This valid because this person may not consider HD audios (DTS HD MA & DD TrueHD) to be decoded or make important.

b) "Im-a-audioholics-with-a-lot-of-green kinda guy"
then PS3 might not be the best player yet. Because you wants all the HD audios to be decodes by your receiver. To do this u need a bitstreaming capable player. There is a rumor news that PS3 able to bitstream these HD audios, but not confirmed yet.

c) "Im-a-audioholics-with-short-of-green kinda guy"
then PS3 will may be or not become best player. It entirely depends on your hardware. you may need receiver that has the capability of accepting & processing PCM sources from the BD player. In this case, BD player must have the capability of decoding HD audios internally and output it as PCM; PS3 is the best bet and best value and also easily available in our beloved country. But mind you, PS3 only capable of outputting DD TrueHD as PCM; DTS HD MA only gods and sony knows when.

sorry for the lame reply. I use this formula to get started in HD worlds smile.gif

ps:i mite be wrong here guys but based on history & esp that Bluray is king, prices will start to do the Titanic-2step-dive once more mfgrs get into the game. Goodtime to pull for your fav made-in-china boyz to start the Cloneswar thumbup.gif
