 Excellent Player July 4, 2008
I bought this to play Blu Ray movies on my new 1080P Samsung. Works great, and very quiet, contrary to the Xbox 360 which is very loud. I have not played games on the Sony since I did not buy it for that but I am sure it is good for that as well.
Better than 360, Great Console July 3, 2008

I've owned a 360 but i sold it for this. I'm not sorry either, this is an AMAZING console, the best out there. Tons of fun. It holds all my music and movies. BUY.

 Excellent playing machine with a good Blu Ray player June 30, 2008
I bought this primarily for watching Blu Ray movies and so far it has delivered.
There are a few gripes though -
1) Not resuming the movie from the point last viewed.
2) Bluetooth remote, thus making a Universal unable to control the PS3.
Overall it has been a great buy especially since a stand-alone Blu Ray player sells for approx. same amount.
Play Station 3 versus Bluray DVD player June 30, 2008
Since the battle between Bluray and HD-DVD format is over with Bluray winning, I decided to get the latest video technology to enjoy a better picture and sounds for watching DVD movies. Consequently, I bought this pricipally used as a DVD player and it is an excellent machine. The picture and sounds are superb when you connect it with a HDTV through HDMI interface. It plays normal DVDs with a better resolution than a Sony regular DVD player when you configure Play Station 3 in 1080 (i/p) mode.
If you need a Bluray DVD player to play either Bluray or regular DVD movies, I would recommend you to get a Play Station 3 instead since the price is about the same while you have video game capability. I have seen some Bluray video games from my nephew and the graphics are fantastic. Until Bluray DVD player price drop significantly, Play Station 3 is a much better deal with more features/functions. I do not understand why Sony sets Play Station 3 (a highly rated system) price at the same as Bluray DVD machine (a lower rated machine). Sony may want to sell more video games to make up the difference.
For your information, commercially available blue laser diode (the heart of Bluray) from Sharp sells at over $80 a piece in Japan. So the price of $400 for Play Station 3 is not too bad. Note: Sony licensed blue laser diode technology from Nichia and makes their own blue laser diodes for all Sony's Bluray machines. At mass production, Sony's cost for blue laser diode could be less than $80 a piece.
