These blue ray things are still too much $$$ in my opinion. The technology is not brand new and the parts cant possibly cost that much.... Wait till black Friday deals or post holiday sales and look for sub $100 deals.

how would the picture from this compare to a PS3? on a 1080 screen, that is.

#2 Not sure but wouldn't it be the same? I thought that the PS3 had the same Blue Ray drive in it that the Sony blue ray players have.

This unit has no onboard DTS-HD Master Audio decoding.

Can this unit send Bitstream?

This unit has no slow motion, and I am not kidding.

I almost bought it until I read that in a review, and although slow motion is used often, it is more useful than ever with high-def. How can you buy a player that is missing such a basic feature?

id hold out on buying this until black friday. i have a feeling they will be cheaper by then.

Even Apple is supporting Blu-ray. So why would m0f0, milf_hunter, and pedoph!le nuisance_sucks support HD-DVD? I guess unless Brokeback Mountain comes out in Blu-ray, those tent-dwelling trolls will continue to support HD-DVD.

#5,

Yes.

Dolby® TrueHD /DTS®-HD bitstream out over HDMI™ (V1.3)
Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD gives you sound quality that matches the crystal clear image of Blu-ray Disc™. With up to 7.1 channels of surround sound and audio that is indistinguishable from the original studio version, Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD promises you an extraordinary surround experience.

I'll buy one when they start selling it for 49.99 like the regular dvd player.

No slow mo? Overpriced - you bet. I wouldn't buy one

But don't just say PS3 is a better option just yet.

Had a friend compare one of these stand-alone players to the PS3 playback side by side on a 46" $4k display. These stand-alone players are considerably better quality than the PS3. The blocking artifacts are much more noticeable, banding, etc.

It's still not woth it yet at this price - especially with the content premium as well. I agree these should and probably will start dropping in price soon. The economy is going to make this Christmas horrible for retailers. If it's not cheap before Christmas - I bet they will by the after-Christmas fire-sales.

With all the bad things said about this player, I gues I will hold on buying it for now.

I agree with #7, black friday is bound to do wonders to prices

still not a bad deal if you dont want to wake up at an ungodly hour after your turkey slumber

With a $100.00 off coupon, I'm in for 2. Other than that, when the price becomes realistic to own and buy movies for( player at most,$25.00 manufacturing cost), I'll see how the cost per movie plays out. Absolutely no justification for the cost of the player or media. I guess they're counting on the "WOW" factor. Don't think it's working.

The only WOW factor for me is the still overpriced players

price will be down definitely, waiting for BF.

buy as PS3. you can do so much more with it and watch blu-ray

yup, add 100+ dollars and get a PS3
