You get 3 in one. And what are the benefits of Panny30 that outweigh all that? Coax outputs?

What you describe is nothing to do with Blu-ray functionality or support.
Yes, those other 'extras' are nice but how do they help those who buy a PS3 for a Blu-ray player ?


Consumer who buys PS3 for Blu-ray player:

"Hey dad, I can't connect the PS3 to the strero because we don't have optical or HDMI."

"Huh?, it doesn't have a digital coax input or 5.1 analog outs to connect to our Sony receiver?"

"Nope."

"Dad, there's no remote so we need to use the game controller for the remote until you buy a special one made specifically for the PS3."

"Huh?, I can't control it with our Universal Sony remote?"

"I guess you can if you buy a special adapter from some online store."

"Well, I guess no stereo for our Blu-ray movies and the game controller will do until I can buy a remote or one of those special adapters."

"Hey, were's the component output on the PS3 ?"

"If doesn't have one, you need to buy a special adapter."

"I guess no blu-ray movie for use tonight."
"Well, I guess we can watch blu-ray in 480i using the special composite output cable.
"It did come with one of those right ?..........."



Consumer who buys BD30

"Let's see..... connect coax for digital input or I can use analog outs."
"Great, my old strero has both. I guess I'll try coax for now."

"Wow, it has component and HDMI video outputs."

......<inserts blu-ray disc in player and enjoys his movie without buying anything to support legacy equipment.>



Not everybody buys the lastest greatest AV equipment.
