Here is the one of the over looked features of the PS3 80gig Msg4 pack. This is the one I own. These are the optical formats played by this PS3. Blue Ray, DVD, DVD audio and SACD. Optical media is the next newspaper. Its will die a slow painfull and cheap death. My point is when the Little used formats are .99 cent I will be playing them still. So cheap but very high quality. Remember cassette. lol

I would recomend the extra cost for the PS3. You get the PSN 160 gig hard drive and DLNA plus more. I did not Know Blue Ray Players had gotten so cheap though. I bought the PS3 almost a year ago and never looked back.

No disrespect but, this is a kind of a moot point. Only because I dont think the quality can not be found under $300.00. The PS3 is the only solution. Untill Blue Ray players have all of the PS3 features or huge price drop.

PS3 is the hands down winner. BD live, Playstaion network and high quality games. it also can be functional HTPC. No question its the PS3. A ton of features can't list them all.

Replaced 4 times and that is the best value FAIL!
