PS3 as a Blu-Ray player...

[Poofta!]

ive read from sound & vision magazine that the ps3 is actually *the* best bluray player. with constant automatic firmware upgrades and built in internet connectivity its the best way to view your blurays without fear of incompatibility

Technical question time:

Does anyone know if SATA Hubs or Multipliers are likely to work with a PS3?

If you were to format each HDD with the PS3 before connecting it to the hub, would the PS3 see just one big PS3 formatted hard drive?

Cool. Cool. Now, I've read different things. The Walmart site says one thing while some other sites say another. Regarding the 40GB w/Spider-man 3, does it have wi-fi or is it strictly bluetooth? Walmart says it does have wi-fi:

Getting the info straight from the horse's mouth it would appear that it does indeed have wi-fi.

My two cents:

It's a great Blu-ray player and also very good for upconverting dvds (as good as my old Oppo player which alot of techie sites always seemed to rave about). In all honesty though, any decent player should do good upconverting anymore. My only problem with Blu-ray (and this is a problem with the technology, in general) is the cost of the damn discs. Damn near $40 if you pay retail (which, thankfully, I never do).
