PS3 is probably the cheapest option only in Msia.....elsewhere you get those sony/panasonic/samsung stand-alone players at a lower price compared to the PS3....

i think my PS3's fan is a bit noisy from day 1.....heard there's a difference in fan noise comparing the current (80GB) and previous 40GB with the early 60GB units....mine is the 60GB unit.

And he's now already looking in the WDTV thread, for a second media center.

By the way, me also got a new toy coming soon. Can't wait.

Htkaki, I read a lot of issue with the Samsung. 

er..I think the bottom is a pana deck how to be completely Sony?.. 

Spent the weekend comparing the BD35 with the PS3. Everything the same, all settings, cables, were the same.

Seriously, the BD35 gives better PQ than the PS3. I can immediately see the difference in PQ. To me the BD35 gives better colors and sharper picture, and the grain is somewhat more noticeable.

For AQ, no difference for PCM tracks or if decoding the DTS-HD MA/Dolby TrueHD internally. But when bitstream the DTS-HD MA/Dolby TrueHD to my Onkyo 875, there is some improvement, the sound stage is like more opened up and has real weight. It's minimal, but still noticeable.

The loading time/responsiveness is still slower than the PS3, but still acceptable (check the benchmark table posted earlier). Plus, the BD35 is really quiet. For PS3 owners, this will be very noticeable.

The more I use BD55, the more I like it...
