Wow, it looks like each new BD release brings a new host of potential problems that will send CE manufacturers scrambling. Thankfully, Panasonic seems to be among the most reliable in that area.

Nice having your own lab. You do notice that many firmware patches with Panasonic come out before the movie is released?

Yepp, Panasonic has been doing this for awhile. One reason why itd be hard for me to stray from their BR players.

lol, I have been a steelers fan for years...Also If you knew my brother you would know why I am not a browns fan (lets just say his car is orange and brown and he calls himself papa dawg )

Just installed Kingston 4GB card today. Will play with BD Live on Narnia this weekend.

Bleary eyed and just finished reading thru this thread. GREAT info. it has helped me decide to get off the fence and buy a BD55. ) I am planning to order it very soon. Looking on Amazon today and yesterday, I do not see any movies bundles to go with the BD55 for $342.90 with free shipping. Am I missing something, or does that offer come AFTER you initiate a purchase.

As someone asked earlier here, any ideas if Amazon might spring for a 'sale price' any time soon. I am not familiar with Amazon's ways.
Thanks and thanks to all for the great discussions and answered questions.

Congrats. No telling when the sale price might come, Id pull the trigger now, but Im an impule buyer
