You responded on 11/29/07 to a post I made about the Wal-Mart PS3 sale. In my post was a link to a site explaining the differences in the various PS3 versions. The link is below if you would like to check it out again. However, if all you have is a retarded comment like you made on the 29th, please don't respond to this post.
As for your questions:
1. Why do I care whether I get the 40g or 80g version? Not sure what the practical effect is.
If you just want a player for watching DVD and Blu-Ray movies, either will suffice. If you want the player to be able to do more, there are differences. (See the link below)
2. Will a playstation display blue ray movies as well as a dedicated blue ray dvd player?
At this time, it is equal to or better than other Blu-ray players (when the Denons come out, that will probably change). There are some applications where a stand-alone may be better suited to your needs. Here are two examples: you need 5.1 or 7.1 analog audio outputs (the PS3 only has 2-channel audio if you need analog) or you use a DVI display for movies (the PS3 only outputs the full digital signal, which contains Below Black 1-15 and Peak White 236-254 information, if you use YCbCr as the digital colorspace; otherwise, it incorrectly clips the video signal to 16-235 when sending digital RGB to a DVI display). I may have a solution to that last one in the near future.
