7.1 Analog Outs and probably an infinitely better upscaler than the PS3, which does no better job than a mid-range upconvert-DVD player.

Do analog outs mean something to everyone? No, not at all. Most Home Theater enthusiasts go for HDMI if they can (because having your player decode audio AND video is... meh, not what it's supposed to do!) but there are always analog purists out there and there a few players that decode so well and have the right connectors, right cables, etc. and it sounds AWESOME.

You'll never get that from a PS3. Is it for everyone? No, but neither is the PS3.
