Yes, IFâ€¦

Yes, if:

- it recognised the disc inserted as a BD/standard DVD and automatically started up as a player. I seem to remember comments that the earliest PS3s did not do that; and

- it responded to a normal IR remote so that I could use my Harmony 880 with it. I'm not interested in something that uses BlueTooth for the remote.

I'd also prefer it to have a tray mechanism rather than a slot.

Come to think of it, I'd even buy the current one if it met those 3 requirements and could pass both Dolby and DTS hi-def formats in PCM.

I'm not overly impressed by the shape but it's not the shape that's holding me back.
