I have a Sony Player and it has decided that it will not play Batman Begins for me. I have wireless in the house and had hoped that the blu-ray gets its firmware updates that way. Big assumption, probably. But how do I go about updating the firmware on the player? Thank you in advance.
some blu ray players have better sound outputs than the ps3...the ps3 is not the best blu ray player.
The PS3 is a great blu ray player but does have some minor limitations that will matter to some. It does not have analog multichannel out which will only matter if you don't have a newer receiver that is HDMI capable.
yeah, people with high end audio systems prefer high end players. sorry PS3 fanboys, its not the best bluray player Sony makes, check this sucker out: http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=279850&i=158BDPS2K&tp=171 Sony ES BDP-S2000ES Details: * plays Blu-ray high-definition discs (selectable output resolution: 1080p signals available through HDMI output only; 720p/1080i signals available through HDMI or component video) * plays DVD-Video, DVD-R & DVD-RW, and DVD+R & DVD+RW * plays high-def AVCHD files on home-burned DVDs * plays MP3 and JPEG files recorded to DVD * plays CDs * selectable 720p/1080i/1080p video upconversion for DVD (upconverted video available through HDMI output only) * built-in audio decoding for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD and multichannnel uncompressed PCM * 7.1-channel bitstream audio output via HDMI * premium circuitry and construction * BD-Java interactive capability (Profile 1 Version 1.0) * HDMI digital output (combines video and multichannel audio with HDCP copy protection) * HDMI version 1.3 with x.v.Color support * BRAVIA Theatre Sync™ for control of compatible Sony TVs and components via HDMI * isolated audio and video circuit boards * aluminum top panel and insulator feet * rigid beam construction * motorized door with glass front panel * 1 set of A/V outputs (composite video, S-video, and component video) * stereo and 5.1-channel audio outputs * coaxial and optical digital audio outputs * IR input for remote repeater systems * remote control (multibrand for TVs) * 16-15/16"W x 4-3/16"H x 15-15/16"D * warranty: 5 years * Want more peace of mind?

Thank you for the information. I didn't buy the Blu-Ray player, got it as a gift. Parents got a PS3 as part of their entertainment center upgrade they just invested in.
