Already have a PS3 but I plan on getting a stand alone when I pick up a LCD for the master bedroom. Should be some attractive prices by the time Memorial weekend rolls around. I love this!! First the Giants win now this, life is good
Standalone Blu-ray player?
When it can play ripped BD movies from a hard drive over wired/wireless network regardless
of AACS and BD+ present and costs under $100 - I'd buy one. If it's not Sony.
I voted no. Right now with my DVR, I've got enough HD to watch. When the mood strikes me for a movie my 8-year old Toshiba DVD player (yup still running ) will be fine for me and all the movies I already own.
If, next year, it looks like HDM is actually going to become as popular as DVD, then I'll look into it...unless the aforementioned 8-year old Toshiba DVD player takes a crap, then it may be a different story.

Funny how for some people, upconverted DVD wasn't good enough- until HD DVD bit the dust. Then suddenly, high def doesn't matter, the old stuff is just fine.
