"Heh to me this was just going to be a PS3....as quite rightly so, it is the cheapest blu-ray player out there."
And also the slowest and lowest quality Blu-Ray player as well.
I don't know why Microsoft would support Blu-Ray... I mean, they are trying to push HD-DVD, so what's the point. I'm sure that if HD-DVD loses, then they will look into it, but for now, it wouldn't be smart.
"And also the slowest and lowest quality Blu-Ray player as well."
That's total bs. The PlayStation 3 is actually faster than most of its contemporary standalone Blu-ray Disc players, because it loads the disc from a system that has already initiated. Both audio and video quality are on par with, if not better than most, standalone Blu-ray Disc players because it is the first commercial product to implemented HDMI 1.3, which adds support for several next-generation audio formats.
Actually, The PS3 is one of the Best Bluray Players out at the Moment, and considered a bargain. It use HDMI Ver. 1.3, can play all the latest Java niceties on BD Movies Discs, very fast response and has the abilty to output Full 1080p without upscaling or compressing image or audio.
Review from AVGuide link - http://www.avguide.com/products/product-3766/ [Aside from the lack of DVD conversion and automatic disc-format detection, I could find little to fault in the PS3's performance as a Blu-ray player. Picture and sound quality were first-rate (with a few caveats on DVD playback), and the console was far more responsive than other high-def players in my experience. At nearly half the price of the next most expensive Blu-ray player (unless you fall prey to scalpers), this black beauty is one hell of a deal]
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

This is an incorrect statement.

"lowest quality Blu-Ray player as well"
I guess you just never run out of non-qualitative things to say. ;)
