PS3 or DVD1800BD


I have a PS3 and I'm wondering if I should "upgrade" to the denon DVD1800BD or it's bigger brothers. The denon Blu ray players don't have wireless so Blu ray live (the online content?) won't work I'm guessing. I'm wondering if bitstream will sound better than the PS3's output (linear PCM). For my taste, the PS3 video looks great on my samsung but I'm wondering if the sound quality will be significantly better. I have a denon 4308ci as my a/v receiver. Any insights would be appreciated.

Hey Pdjmwj. If you go over to the Denon 2500 thread at AVS, soemeone there will be more than happy to burn you a disc. Did You get your unit from an authorized dealer?
I own the Denon 2500 also. It is head and shoulders above the PS3 as far as picture quality and sound quality are concerned. Denon has stepped up and supported the 2500 with firmware upgrades. Many stand alone Blu Ray players have needed firmware upgrades, this will probably be straightened out soon.

I do wish the 2500 had come with an ethernet for firmware upgrades but it didn't. I am still very happy with it, it's built like a tank. I plan to trade it in for the new DVD-A1UDCI Universal Blu Ray player being released by Denon in a short time. I won't have to burn any more discs for updates wirth it.
