There's one thing that everyone has eluded, that the PS3
and Denon 2500 Blu-Ray players lack, and that's outputs!
They both only have HDMI outs! This is terrible for
a systems that needs multiple video or audio sources.
It's not always necessary, but it is a key factor nevertheless.
I can't comment on the Denon piece, but the PS3 gives you three (maybe 4) options for video output.
HDMI
component
composite
(S-vid)
The last three are outputted through the funky Playstation low res jack. Kind looks like a HDMI connection but smaller. You just need to purchase the appropriate cable for your application. I don't believe the HDMI and the low res (whatever that jack is called) can be enabled at the same time though.
You could use a distrubution amp or a cheap matrix (best of luck with HDMI) if you need mulitples of any output. The PS3 isn't a whole home Bluray solution, and I don't think that's what the OP was really looking for. However, as a stand alone piece, it's still one of the best performers available.
