I bought a release PS3 player primarily for Blu-ray, and secondary as a game console. When it came out, no other BD player could match the price — game playback was thrown in “free” so to speak — and I knew Sony used high quality components so I wasn’t worried about image quality at all.
I also knew that it would receive every single update for BD capability. When I bought it Profile 2.0 wasn’t finished yet, but for sure the PS3 would get the update. Now, bfore this becomes a Profile Rag Session, every Blu-ray player since the beginning will play a Profile 2.0 movie disk; Profile 2.0 only effects Special Features.
And, of course, if there’s ever a bug with a specific disk (ala the first Matrix DVD release), I knew Sony would first fix it on the PS3. And that’s a guarantee for the life of this console!
