Question-Sony BDP S550 or PS3?

550...it does True HD at true 7.1...if you have a 7.1 system. If you Aare only looking at getting 5.1 go PS3!!

This is from the PS3 website..

"A device compatible with Linear PCM 7.1 Ch. is required to output 7.1 Ch. audio, supported by Dolby TrueHD or a similar format, from the HDMI OUT connector. This system does not support output from the DTS-HD 7.1 Ch. DTS-HD 7.1 Ch. audio is output from a 5.1 or lower channel."

Only other thing to consider is that you can't get a universal remote to turn the power on the PS3. You either have to use the PS3 controller or manually turn it on. There are work arounds to get the Harmony Remotes to control the PS3s but they can't turn them on. And maybe that's not a big deal??
