Pretty good Navy 
In all seriousness, some of the complaints on here are close enough to calling a refrigerator without an ice maker (still have ice trays, oh noes!) or the front crushed/cubed ice and water dispenser, obsolete.
:up
Damn GE, they charge more for filtered water and crushed ice (something that should be standard) when they should just give us the refrigerator so we'll buy more food.

WOW am I reading what I think I'm reading. WTF does an icebox have to do with BD flaws. Another weak analogy to cover the flaws of BD. This is an all time low, but hey if it floats your boat then go for it. Its a sad day when the usual suspects become each others yes:up men.
True!! Now where in Vurbano?
Shame on you for showing hes a hypocrite
Chalk this one up to another decent thread ruined by one person. Ah well, ignore is my friend, ignore is my friend, ignore is my friend(now if we could only ignore quotes of the said offender)
I think you're expecting too much. Funai, of course, wants to get on the money making wagon too.
I dont necessarily fault them for it, but I really wish we'd see some of these lower cost brands hit the $249-$199 mark asap AND offer a decent player. It appears these may not be too bad, but they could afford to be cheaper.
No Im not. I just think anyone that buys anything other than a PS3 at this point is flushing money down the toilet.
I have to agree with this, but that's my opinion. Only if the PS3 remote was more worthy.
I dont disagree that the PS3 is a great value(owned one), but the slightly soft PQ was an issue for me. I liked the BT remote and loved having the hdd for mp3 storage, but lets face it, I bought it for video playback. I paid $499 for my PS3, I sold it and then paid $499 for my BD30 and have not looked back because the BD30 offered a little more in the PQ department.
If I was buying now(knowing what I do about the PS3 and the BD30), Id buy the BD50 before buying the PS3.
How much softer? show me screen grabs from both. You also have to consider that BD may fail in a few years and in your case all you would have is a nice doorstop. PS3 owners still have a game system.
And our HD DVD players are doorstops, too
Chance you take with being an early adopter.S~
:haha:haha They sure are but still work and look really nice!:upAnd our HD DVD players are doorstops, too

What rate, didn't the president of New Line just come out with concerns that BD wasn’t selling enough and that the average store only had 1-2 BD players on the shelves. Also I know there are no true source of numbers to calculate the actual numbers but wasn’t BD like 1% of DVD sales? I know you love to swear by that misleading sales thread you fed in the warzone but there is no source to back you up.
The PS3 is still a good buy. I have not watched DVDs on it, so I cannot comment on upconvert softness. BDs seem pretty good quality, but I am sure dedicated players will beat the PQ before long. The PS3 has been great, getting updates (bought mine a year ago).
One of these days I will get the mythical BD player that has fantasic PQ, every imaginable feature and costs $100 (although I would consider under $500). The PS3 will hold me for quite a while longer.
