Im thinking of buying a dedicated blu-ray player such as the sony bdp-s760 or the pioneer bdp-320. I am currently using my ps3 but have heard that longterm use for blu-rays/dvds can stress them causing failure. Also would like to know what sort of advantage in picture and sound quality im likely to gain over the ps3 and would it justify the outlay. Any knowledge would be appreciated especially if someone has both units.
PS3 Vs Sony BDP-S760 for blu-ray

A dedicated Bluray player will always give better results than the PS3. Either of those players will suit you.
I did just that a few weeks ago and I am so glad I bought the BDP-S760. I have found the picture quality to be even better than the PS3 Slim. More importantly I found the PS3 had issues with some pan shots, but going to a dedicated played has removed the issues I had.
Sound was more musical, I was astonished by the difference in audio. I have mine on a granite platform with isolation pods to help reduce error correction.

Thanks for your replies. I have noticed something similar to what you described but not so much with slower pan shots, its more with fast motion such as fight scenes or car chases. The picture change doesn't seem fluid, verging on jumpy making it uncomfortable to watch. I pretty much already had my mind made up on the 760 anyway.

Why don't you consider the Sony BDPS370 its just been reviewed by this magazine and compared to its rivals including the BDP S760 and beat them all on PQ and SQ and you can pick it up from richer sounds for £150. As well as being What Hifi best budget blu ray player its also their best mid range player because it even beats players at twice its price.
