| | Posted: May 7, 2008 1:20 PM | | | | Dude, that's more expensive than the PS-3 which can do all that and more as the Blu-Ray format is expanded.
For that price, I'd expect multi-disc support. |

| | Posted: May 7, 2008 3:33 PM | | | | Way too high. Unusual for Panasonic to come in at too high a price. $700 would be about right if it were also multi-format, like the Gen 4 Samsung that is coming.

Panasonic today announced that it will soon launch a new Blu-ray player that will cost $699 but will be compatible with new 'BD-Live' interactive features. Who cares what it's compatible with when they charge that much for it. $700 players are not going to help Blu-ray gain converts. I'll just continue to enjoy my $150 Toshiba A35  |

| | Posted: May 21, 2008 6:39 PM | | | | I would be careful with the Sony. With the current models there is no support for the HD Soundformats. Well the BD S 500 can at least play True HD.
I hope that's different with the new models.
I myself got the Samsung BD-P 1400 and I am more than happy with it. | | | | Check out my Youtube channel under https://www.youtube.com/user/alittleolder |
