Please quote where I posted that the "VC-1 on the PS3 sucks." That is your statement, not mine.

Instead of pulling his quotes out of context by partially quoting him, lets see what Robert George said in full:

I know these both these are the same transfer and same VC-1 encode, so I can only assume that all VC-1 decoders and players are not created equal.
As I've stated, that means exactly what I posted - the PS3 VC-1 decoder is not as good as the Toshiba's as per Obi.
