One that has been held back to older firmware is even more valuable because it can be used to rip SACDs to a computer file, which can then be played by some external DACs and portable audio players without conversion to PCM.

The PS3 was also an excellent Blu-Ray player, and many people bought it just to use as a video disc player.
