Question

How is the PS3 compared to stand-a-loans for Blu-ray?

Answer 1

You mean stand alones?  It is perhaps the best.  It's closest competitor is the Panny BD30.  It loads fast, and it has a crapload of features.  A couple problems with the PS3: it does not decode nor bitstream DTS MA; the remote is bluetooth so it does not work with a universal IR remote (there is a workaround with the Nyko remote).

The BD30 on the other hand has an "LFE bug."  When playing PCM tracks the LFE channel is about 4dbs lower.
