PS3 FTW... 
Nothing comes close IMO to home video/audio quality...  |

Nope, I even have a couple myself, and when everything is rigged to my 42" LCD in the front room via HDMI, the PS3 is in a different class.

| Sony’s console is in a completely different class when it comes to home theatre and hi-fi performance. Like many premium audiophile CD players, the PS3 is able to resample conventional music CDs to 88.2 kHz (optical out) and even 176.4 kHz (via HDMI). As a Blu-ray player, the PS3 is one of the fastest players on the market in terms of BD-Java performance and compatibility, and even features high-end capabilities such as 1080p24 output. |
The PS3 has a crapload of media options also, and as that review agrees, it's the king of upscaled DVD playback and the Blu-ray is as good as any other $500 player. It's just the best media centre out hands down IMHO.

| PA, does the PS3 work as a universal media player, playing SACD and the likes? |

Yep, the PS3 can play SACD/CD/DVD/Blu-ray/MP3/AAC/WMA/MPEG4/MPEG2/MPEG1/MPEG4 AVC (H.264) and probably a few others I can't remember...!, It can stream media from a media center over a local network via DNLA, it's due to get DivX support soon also, a freeview DTV adapter and online on-demand movies.
It can resample CD's also at something like 176Khz via HDMI which is a modern high-end feature for top-end hi-fi kit. There's also the small fact that it supports HDMI v1.3 and Dolby True HD 7.1 w/uncompressed audio.
There's more info on the main site :-

Nvidia = decode two streams + Aero
ATI = decode one stream - Aero

i keep wanting to use my PS3 more often ...
but i never do! - all the games i might want on the PS3 i can just get on my xbox 360 (cheaper and with gamer score), so the PS3 just gets neglected ;(
too bad i can't be bothered to pay for Blu-Ray movies either. |
