The only benefit I see is it uses less power.

Bitstream; does not sound better.
Lighter; do you carry it often?
Smaller; did you have a space problem?
The newer "Fats" are quiet
And unless you are new to Blu-ray and you need a player that is also a great gaming system, then get one by all means. But if you think replacing your older PS3 is the way to go, I am going to have to disagree.

Not this quiet, at least from what I can tell after 1 day of ownership.

In the long run, you'll save on electricity bills since it uses less energy! I do enjoy seeing what my receiver is actually decoding now instead of always showing PCM@48kHz. I haven't fully tested the sound quality yet, so I don't know if it's better or the same. It is quieter then my old PS3.
