BluRay / PS3 pros and cons
Discussion
So I am in the process of sorting out getting the full HD experience at home and BluRay will be a pretty big part of that. Does anybody have any words of wisdom. As I understand it the PS3 is a good option as it is SW upgradeable, but do the dedicated players (not the silly-money ones) have any other advantages over the PS3?
I have a BluRay and HDMI output on my laptop, but there is a voice in the back of my head that says I might struggle getting an audio output to my non HDMI AV receiver.
Finally the prices of BluRay players are really variable, are the expensive ones significantly better than the cheaper units, are you paying for better picture quality or just more features?

Well I am not sure I want yet another games console under the TV, so I think I will probably go dedicated BD. The audio issues are not really a concern at the moment as I don't intend to upgrade the rest of my surround sound system from DD, so anything that can output a DD signal across a optical cable or coax is ok for me.
It sounds like picture quality doesn't vary that much so I will probably go for a lower end player and wait for a reasonably priced writer to become available.
