Why aren't ALL remotes like Playstation PS3 ?


Just purchased a Sony Playstation as a birthday gift. Wow, the remote is BLUETOOTH, meaning you can actually put the main unit behind wooden doors, or in a closet, or in a different room, and you can still operate it at a distance.

When I think of the high-ticket cd and DVD players that use a ''sophisticated'' and expensive remote that you still have to point and shoot withing a few degrees...

That Playstation by the way is pretty impressive. Blu-Ray with a BEAUTIFULL picture, DVD, CD, Web connectivity, and of course gaming, even for old audiophiles to try!

Now if only those solid-billet remotes could work the same as the cheezy playstation, that would be something.

As a Blu-Ray player the PS3 is just as good or very near the equal of any high-end audio/videophool-approved BR player - don't knock it.
I'll now go do my taxes on the Oppo and then get to some CAD drawings which by the way will look great on either the plasma or the projector.

All kidding aside, the only advantage the Oppo offers, is in DVD playback because of the ABT chip. BR picture quality is the same on both machines, loading times are very comparable and fan noise on the newest slim is a non issue except for those who sit within three feet from the unit.
