Is PS3 Still The Best Blu-ray Player??

Not a deal breaker in any way shape or form especially for someone living in North America or almost any part of Asia...unless crappy Pal upscales and British TV become widely popular and start flooding the shelves...

A better point would be to say the PS3, while hackable I'm sure, is basically region locked. The Oppo BDP-80 is easily hard modded for around $25 to play any DVD or Blu Ray and isn;t affected by FW updates.

Also, that would be considered a feature the PS3 is lacking and not a performance issue.

And for the most part, has little to do with Blu Ray.
