Does anyone have this model? how is this compare to the ps3? I'm most interested in the blu picture quality and the dvd upscale.

The 605 is Costco version of the BD-60 which has outstanding picture quality and solid upscaling. You can read reviews online if you google the BD60.

Hi there I work at Costco. I can tell you the player blu-ray picture quality is very good, now when it comes to the DVD quality I can't tell you we only play blu ray movies on the demos we have on the floor, the load speed is average for a blu-ray that price, the reliability is excellent,we have that player on the whole day from the time we open at 10 am until the time we close at 8:30 PM, It also includes in case you did not notice a free HDMI cable. comparing it to the PS3, the only thing is similar is the quality of the blu-ray picture the PS3 does so much more especially being considerably faster to load the movie. The PS3 is considered one of the best blu-ray players ever made.Most people here given the choice will choose a PS3 over most stand alone blu-ray players in the market today, don't get me wrong there are people who will be more than happy with a stand alone player, but if you want a future proof player the PS3 is hard to beat.
