There is nothing wrong at all with the PS3 as a player. It's 2.0 compliant (if you like that kind of thing), does 24fps, is very, very fast, has excellent upscaling, frequent updates, and it decodes or bitstreams most audio formats. Oh and its also a media center and games console too. It is excellent value for what it is, although if you only use it for one thing you might not think so.
Maybe finally the standalones are (finally!) starting to match & exceed the PS3 but its still the standard that other players are measured by. I'm glad that we are seeing standalones which are cheaper or as capable as the PS3. It means the market is maturing.
“Measuring 21.5 inches each, with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, and optical multitouch technology under their chunky bezels, these two models represent the biggest mainstream push for touchscreen computing yet.”
