Upgrade: Elite or PS3?

[HiNRG]

I'll warn you. For the next five years, if you ask anyone on this forum to choose between the PS3 and a non-Sony Blu-ray player, over 90% of the responses will be for the PS3. Sorry, I'm not to knocking the PS3, because it's an awesome player, but it has gone into my bedroom. The new Samsung BD-P1200 is now the Blu-ray player for my home theater, because it's a slightly superior player, and because I prefer using a regular remote control as opposed to a game controller for movies. I chose not to invest extra in the PS3 remote.

When it comes to TV's too, all I ever hear is SONY, SONY, SONY! I respect the hell out of Sony, but I don't worship the company. Panasonic makes great plasmas, Samsung makes great LCD's & DLP's, and Sharp also makes great LCD's, but when you talk about the best high-end TV's on this forum, there is definitely a Sony bias. The only other thing I hear is that if you can't afford an expensive Sony TV, then buy a cheap Westinghouse, which isn't bad advise.

Sony does make very good TV's, but when I see polls showing that Sony is most people's favorite movie studio, I begin to scratch my head because that just doesn't seem right. It's a good studio, but the best - no way! That's just my opinion, though.
