Perry,
>We were discussing the PS3 as an alternative to a standalone Bluray player. There's many issues with standalone Bluray. Most of these are not an issue with the PS3.
There is also the advantage of connecting to the Playstation network and download updates that can fix even problems with the BR implementation.
>Although, from what I've heard, the PS3 does not do a good job of upscaling standard DVDs.
I do not know about that, I have a 46" 1080p Sony Bravia XBR2 LCD, and a regular DVD looks so-so when I put it on a regular DVD player, and really good when I put it in the PS3, so I am very happy with how the PS3 upscales (and it upscales to 1080p).
