blu ray player issues image
Nathan T
I don't understand why people would buy a stand-alone blu-ray player when the when (up to this point) the Playstation 3 has been cheaper. It seems like they are paying more for a product that can do less. Can the stand-alone blu-ray players do more then the blu-ray player on the playstation 3? If so, how much better is it?
Answer
Actually I beg to differ with some of the comments above.
Yes true, having a stand alone blu-ray player might last longer as it is dedicated to only playing bluray as opposed to the PS3 being a gaming system. But what PS3 has to offer outside of bluray playback is vastly better from gaming, storing videos, music, and browsing the internet.
Setbacks:
No remote control (not a big factor in my opinion, you can get the $25 bluray remote)
No dedicated chip set (Ps3 playback uses the Cell processor)
If you actually looked up reviews with PS3 vs. stand alone, its actually BETTER than most stand alone blu-ray players out there at a performance per cost stand point.

The fact that the PS2 did have issues of freezing and worse picture quality with DVD playback, does not mean it will be just the same on the PS3. There's been no hard evidence of PS3's breaking down due to bluray, more than any other piece of electronic equipment. And yes I'm sure there have been minor issues with bluray, but thats consumer electronics for you...besides, the PS3 is cheaper.
"Can the stand-alone blu-ray players do more then the blu-ray player on the playstation 3?"
No. The only difference in play back is that the PS3 uses Cell, and stand alone have a dedicate chip to decode bluray. There is no loss in quality.
Hope this helps.
Honestly, I'm sure no one who has a PS3, bought a stand alone as well...unless it were for different rooms. =)

Is there something deficient about the blu ray player on the PS3?

It just seems too good to be true.
So you can purchase a PS3 with a blu ray player for 400. Yet, to buy a blu ray player individually, you would have to pay 400-600.
Is the blu ray player on the PS3 deficient?
Answer
To my knowledge, there are no issues with the Blu-ray disc player on the PS3. In fact, the PS3 has generally been acclaimed as a very decent Blu-ray player, and great for value.
Sony has been using the PS3 as a platform to promote the Blu-ray disc as next-gen format. As a result, until this year, Sony actually was performing at a loss/break-even in terms of profit for the PS3 division (as a result of the 'low' pricing). Supposedly they have started entering the profit band now since manufacturing costs have come down (cheaper Blu-ray & cell production, no more emotion chip needed, etc.).
Certainly, the PS3 is not a dedicated Blu-ray player, so some of the specialized players you buy may offer some customization and adjustments you can't find on the PS3. But in terms of playback, there should be absolutely no issues with the PS3.
The PS3 is being promoted as not just a gaming system, but as a full-fledged home media entertainment system. Because of this, in addition to Blu-ray, the PS3 includes capabilities to play DVDs, CDs, SACDs, and various PC media formats like mp3s, avis, mpgs as if it were an HTPC, so you should expect it will play Blu-rays as well as any other player.
