I am reading some reviews where the writer is using a PlayStation 3 as a Blu-ray player. Is this really a good idea?

When Blu-ray was first introduced, many considered Sony's PlayStation 3 to be the best Blu-ray player out there because it was glitch-free compared to many Blu-ray players at the time. I bought one specifically to play Blu-rays on and still use it. Times have changed though, and there certainly are some good players available today that don't have the problems of the earlier ones. However, that availability hasn't caused me to switch. So, yeah, you could say it's a good idea, even still. . . . Doug Schneider
