These days, the recommendations of important companies and groups can carry a lot of weight in the technology industry. It should stand as good news, then, that the reference Blu-ray player of the Criterion Collection happens to be the PS3.

For those who haven’t heard of it, the Criterion Collection is a company that releases what can be called “authoritative” versions of important classic and contemporary movies.
The Criterion Collection is also responsible for introducing certain aspects of contemporary DVD viewing that we now take for granted (such as developer commentary, letterboxing, and restorations of old or hard-to-find films). That said, expect the folks at the Criterion Collection to know their stuff when it comes to quality viewing.
Joe Kane, the AV expert who designed the theater of Criterion Collection, also told CNET that Sony‘s console offers the best image quality among Blu-ray players out in the market.
Furthermore, the PS3 delivers its quality images using a cheaper cable. Instead of using a Monster-brand HDMI cable which costs US$ 275, the PS3 can use a much cheaper (at US$ 2) DVI Gear version to come out with the same quality visuals.
All in all, it’s a shining recommendation for the console as a home entertainment system that goes far beyond the confines of plain old videogaming.
