Yes but the most people when they think of Hi-Def they only think of the picture and or pictures. When an audio guy thinks - he takes everything into account, but places a premium on the audio capabilities. I have met people just getting into BD and HDTV and they try to opt for lesser sound...until they hear a real system - then they are hooked. Thats why I like the standalone route. If you are a gamer - this PS3 is a must have - but if you are a HT-phile - you have other options. Value is only preceived by the one placing said value on a thing. In King Solomons day - silver was like stones in terms of value (Give me some of those stones now ) Value is subjective to the needs and desires of the buyer.
