PS3 decodes any HD format available.. like ppl said here, it just dont bitstream them as it does all the decoding by itself edi.. now some say good, some say not good, and some say no diff.. my take is..

since decoding requires ram/processor.. the ps3 has one of the best processor available now.. even vs those from intels.. therefore... la la la

and the ps3 can load bds at blazing speed compared to other bd players..

now as it being the best, its just as dirtrun said.. it may not be the best.. but it is damn right the most value..

dirt, check out the new elite pioneer bd player.. aiman linked it before.. ANALOGUE AUDIO OUT!!!
