#2 - Chances are the PS3 won't be anywhere near as good as one of the standalone players.
Your question SHOULD have been "Why? When you can get an HD-DVD player for less than $400." You'll even get lossless audio NOW, instead of with the Blu-Ray favorite motto, "We'll be good LATER."
to xyzzy i totally agree i have a HD-DVD player and i love it. Yes it's a bit slow to load up but it looks amazing. But what i meant is if he has to have blu-ray go with the PS3 seeing how SOny has mentioned there wil be few PS3's but even FEWER blu-ray player seeing how they are having problems developing the blu-ray diode and want to concentrate on the PS3 more then the standalone players.
Also don't forget that you can get a HD-DVD player for the XBox 360 for just $200 with a free copy of King Kong is the report was true which is sweet. King Kong wil look awesome in HD. I think HD-DVD has MUCH better movies. I have already more then 20 like Enter the Dragon, Willy Wonka (old and new), Batman Begins, Serenity and lots more. Also coming soon what i can't wait for is MATRIX is HD will be awesome and look super sweet.
If you ouput a 1080p bluray move to a 1080p TV there would be no loss of PQ. In this situation PS3 can't be any less of a bluray player than a stand alone machine.
