question: i'm using my ps3 as a blu ray player and when the movie loads, the screen will go from 1080p @ 60hz to 1080p @24hz? is this what i want or should it be saying 1080p @ 120hz?

No, the source (blu-ray) is 24hz.

does 120 hz effect gameplay at all?

it will effect the way the game looks, not how it plays.

the higher the framerate though, the less the effect.

@60fps, 120hz is interpolating only half the frames versus @30fps it is interpolating 3/4 of the frames. interpolation is what gives it that weird soapy look.

so what's the benefit of 120 hz?
