Thanks for that link Jared....
Looks like DTS-HD is standard too, which ticks all the right boxes, even if it's slightly down on Blu Ray VQ performance compared to say, Panasonics budget dedicated Blu Ray player, factoring in that the PS3 is a hamburger with the lot game console, with Blu Ray playability, and the fact that the slim will fit in my av cabinet, I am pretty much sold on getting one.
Do you still need the Blu Ray remote ( optional ) to play movies, or can it play BR movies without one ? If so, whats the street price on the remote control ?
