I'm not sure I see the difference between a PS3 and a dedicated
player ... it's just as convenient to start playing a film on
the PS3 as on my old dedicated DVD player. The only niggle is the use
of the PS3 games controller to control playback, and as I only use play
and pause it really doesn't bother me.

Of course I'm probably missing something!

Re-reading what I read, I guess I didn't show my preference ... I'm in
agreement. It'll be far more interesting with a more varied market.
Remember how much more interesting computing used to be with dozens of
different platforms to play with ?
