I bought the Samsung BDP1000 in august and so I was fortunate enough to learn new concepts such as "Mechanical Turkey" and playback stutter. Impossibilty to read brand new discs (I have upgraded the firmware twice) has made me decide after two weeks to promote the player to the loft.
My son bought himself a Sony PS3 to use with a seven year old old NEC 4250W plasma in component with results too good to be credible. Unfortunately compatibility issues with the plasma doesn't allow for PAL dvds to be visualized but only (and not all NTSC dvds).
Combined with the Panasonicc PTAE900 VPR though, the results are so stunning either in DVD as in Blu Ray that I wonder that if I should upgrade to full HD will I be able to appreciate the difference.
Another question is that my impression (having tried three other players- including Toshiba HD-DVD- in shops) and having read a few opinions, that the playstation is at the moment the only player out there that has fast and reliable access, seamless stutterless playback with all dvds and blu ray discs as far as today. I am saying that I believe the only stand-alone player worth buying at the moment is Sony PS3. Am I right? And if so, isn't that a bit too little for the industry to hope changing costumer attitude.
