Should avoid Sammy BD players at all cost, it takes forever to load movies with Java menus like AVP2, POTC, etc. Some movies will skip and out of sync. They have not fixed the problem till now.

Safest bet as of now is Panny's BD30 player but if you can wait, BD50 will be out soon.

Hi,

I think ps3 is popular cos it is oso a gamin machine and does bd discs as well .. d price helps too..

But performance wise .. de Panny bd 30 beats it in most cases..

Ok.. bd 30 is alrdy 2999 .. how much will de bd50 be listed as??

Crazy prices n software oso not cheap..

Just the truth bro. Until now there is no player that can even beat PS3 for disc loading time. And there are a lot more advantage than any current BD players right now.

I'm not a gamer, I also prefer standalone, one thing I'm longing is the bitstreaming capability (though not that big a deal actually). No doubt someday we'll see better and cheaper standalones in future, and I'll be the first to buy it. nod.gif

Hi,

I donno .. most of de reviews compare it favourably to de ps3 but in de US they are abt de same price so its a fair comparison.. over here de ps3 is cheaper than de bd30, so its unfair to compare .. ppl assume when u pay more..

Hv been trawlin thru avs's bd30 threads(200+pgs..) n apparently it got sum bugs too.. wonder wat version our local units are??

Cheers

Sharp doing a promo for its Full HD LCD TV. Just add RM1,299 to buy BDHP-20A. Saw it in newspaper today.
