silliness

-I'm really not interested in video games, so that's one strike.

What about BD players that play CDs? If you're not interested in CDs, does this make it a strike against those players? Of course not: you don't have to play CDs on a BD player just like you don't have to play games on a PS3.

-I've heard lots about how the PS3 is noisy/has fans and that's a big strike 2. I am very picky about noises. My Pioneer DVD recorder has a very quiet fan, still bugs me during quiet parts of a movie.

There are numerous factors that affect the PS3's fan speed. For most people it is a non-issue with the 40/80/160GB versions, which run quieter than the others (20/60GB). However, since you are sensitive to noise, this may still be a problem for you so it is a valid concern.

-Grant, can you pause the movie? I think somebody's at the door/the phone is ringing/the dog is barking/let's get some popcorn, etc. Wait, no remote, serious?

That's just silly. There is a dedicated non-game remote for the PS3. The MSRP is $25, but it can be found on the internet for $16. About every other month, someone is running a special where you get a free PS3 remote if you buy something (usually a PS3 or even a movie, as Wal-Mart had a special for a free PS3 remote if you bought the Hancock Blu-ray).

-What about those who don't have HDMI hookup in our current system and don't plan on changing that any time soon.

That makes every Blu-ray player without 5.1 or 7.1 analog outputs (and there are several) a non-option, not just the PS3.
