In the early days of the X-box I thought one of it's selling points would be it's ability to double up as a DVD player. That's a few years ago now, when DVD players were only just becoming popular. Very quickly did I realise it wasn't that suitable. Not due to playback quality, more through background noise (altough at least one DVD i bought didn't play properly). Didn't take me long to get a dedicated DVD player.

I'd expect the same would happen over blueray, if it is a format that becomes popular the dedicated players will soon come along at a cost effective price that will superceed the PS3 option, except maybe for the kids bedroom.
