Fully agreed Chris. That's part of the reason I have just remained with my PS3 doubling as BRD player. I have a hard time justifying why I would pay for another device that does what my PS3 already does. Lack of good upconversion & fan noise are my only reasons so far for not being 100% happy with the PS3, but then I primarily rent/buy blu-ray so upconversion becomes a very small issue.
