    Sony 400 BD Disk Changer

    A reply to the snarky monster cable comment... There IS a difference between the Sony 5000ES and the 550 - even my dealer was skeptical about the quality difference. And I was of course reluctant to pay 2,000 dollars for a player. But before you laugh, go to your dealer and do a comparison...

    Sony 400 BD Disk Changer

    2G would actually be cheap for a ES changer. I have the 5000ES single disk player and that was nearly 2G (and worth it BTW, PQ is incredible - there IS a difference). I hope that that this changer is up to ES quality standards and may swap out my single disc player for the changer if it...

    Fox to start removing features from rental DVDs

    Personally, I love extra features, especially commentaries and in-depth "making of's" that explain special effects or have interesting interviews. If a DVD (or Blu-ray) doesn't have any extra features I see little point in buying it--if I want an archive copy of the movie I record it from a...

    Anyone have a Pioneer BD player? or Samsung 2500?

    I don't have either one of the models that the OP mentions but I do have Pioneer Elite 94. It has proven to be very reliable and its up-convert capabilities are excellent. However, I would not recommend going to a Pioneer player at this time. This is because Pioneer is exiting the display...

    Any blue ray s550 compatible toslink switches?

    I would recommend a device from cables to go. They have proven to be very reliable. I am using this one: Cables To Go - Digital Audio Explorer Toslink Selector Switch to conect a Pioneer Elite 94 Blu-Ray, a Toshiba A30 HDDVD player and a JVC DVHS to my receiver (a Yamaha, can't remember model...

    Blu-Ray - not ready for the mass market?

    I have to disagree with your statements: 1. Player prices have been coming down significantly. Sony's BDP-S350 is under $ 300 (sometimes on sale for $250). From all reports I've heard, it is very reliable. As for BD titles, many are competitive with regular DVD. Check out Amazon -...
