    While PSN offers a good range of movies, I won't be DLing any until they have at least 5.1 Dolby Digital or DTS audio. The few that do supposedly have multichannel audio didn't work; all i could get was 2ch audio. Reading the Playstation forum I'm far from alone with this.

    i'm enjoying my PS3 as a gaming machine and a media player, worth the money :)

    I recently purchased an Argosy media player, pretty much a piece of crap... Looks like i'm going to get another PS3 as a media player (AVCHD works flawlessly, showing off b'day parties and graduations can't be any easier).
