misinformation and opinion

It's not a "decent" Blu-ray player: it's an excellent Blu-ray player. It is constantly being updated, handles all of the audio and video formats that Blu-ray is capable of delivering at this time and it does so very well. As Abe pointed out, the PS3 is still considered the benchmark to which all other players are compared to. And considering it was introduced in November of 2006, nearly 3 years ago, that's pretty amazing for a piece of "gaming" electronics. Of course, it's nowhere near "just" a piece of gaming electronics. I seriously doubt "anyone" is using it just as a Blu-ray player, considering all of the functions that the PS3 is capable of performing.

As for comparisons to the Xbox 360, that "is" just an opinion. And based on that comment, I'd say you are an Xbox fanboy; hence, the dissing of the PS3 as a game machine.
