on a 1 to 10, the ps3 is probably a 2.5
WTF are you talking about?? A 2.5 I really don't know what the bases are for your information. I beginning to think that your just saying this to get a rise out of people with the ps3s. I must admit if thats the case then its working as you can see because i felt compelled to follow this arguement from the other thread.
Numerous sites show that the blu-ray player built into the ps3 may not come with a nice sleek remote to operate it or have easy romper room level backlit front mount controls but it definitly plays in full HD quality at 1080p through HDMI output. Here is a little reading from the gadget website.
PlayStation 3 as Blu-ray player, how does it rate?

PlayStation 3 definitely had a tough holiday season, with a disappointing launch lineup of games,
odd incompatibilities and shortage of consoles; it outsold the
HD DVD add-on for the Xbox 360
but not much else. Luckily we're not just interested in the system for games, it also carries the status of being the cheapest and
potentially most advanced Blu-ray player available. How well suited is it for a home theater environment? Home Theater Blog and Ultimate AV recently put the unit through it's paces to find out and had mostly good things to say. In terms of old school DVDs, it's lack of 3:2 pulldown or any upconversion via HDMI is obviously disappointing, while Ultimate AV found the picture "soft", HTB noted otherwise perfect scores on the HQV test disc. Both liked that the system loaded and began playing Blu-ray movies considerably faster than
other players, and had nothing but good things to say about the picture quality -- with the exception of the included movie, even on a
50GB disc Talladega Nights looked "flat" and "compressed" -- despite still leaning towards HD DVD in overall sharpness. They weren't able to test out any lossless
Dolby TrueHD soundtracks, but uncompressed PCM soundtracks on
Sony Blu-ray movies blew away their lossy DD and DTS equivalents. If you can
get around the lack of an IR receiver for standard remotes, both considered the PS3 an attractive option for anyone considering a Blu-ray player.
Come on you can't still be in denial.
