Is the PS3 the best Blu-ray option?

Why do you buy a Playstation 3? The console is one of those next-gen consoles that every kid in town wants in their room. Besides the gaming quality it offers, many say it's the only Blu-ray player you can trust. Parents buy the console and see the happy smile of their children disappear when their newest Blu-ray player doesn't go to the kid's room, but ends up in the living room.

Many say that the Playstation 3 is the best Blu-ray option. The gaming console offers all the features like picture-in-picture and BD-Live at an attractive price compared to other Blu-ray players. It's correct that the Playstation 3 is a great option for now, but will this still be the same during this year's fall? The PS3's excellent clarity and great eye for detail is considered as a plus, but isn't it true that motion-capture isn't the console's strongest point? "Fast panning shots in Sony's own flagship 'Casino Royale,' are prone to stutter, whereas the company's own dedicated players render the same scenes perfectly," said an article in the latest Home Cinema Choice Magazine.

This fall is expected to be 'blue'. A few companies already said that they will come with more dedicated 'Profile 2.0' players. Personally I think the PS3 is the best option for now, but these new players will definitely change this. If you want to watch HD movies, but you are not really that much of a gamer, then I would say you've to wait until next fall.

Do you agree?
