Just so you guys know a couple different retailers are putting their Blu Ray players on sale for Black Friday.

Oh and don't forget guys the new Samsung P2550 is the only Blu Ray player at the moment that syncs with your Netflix account and streams movie to your Tv :D

That I did not know bro, thanx for the info. I do know that ATM the PS3 is the only Blu Ray player with wireless capabilities which is a bonus.

Oh and Tim if you look at the Best Buy Black Friday adds in the link you will find disks on sale too :D

Hopefully I've been good this year and Santa will bring me a Panasonic DMP-BD35K Blu-ray Player and Onkyo TX-SR606 Receiver. My HD DVD player is getting lonely. :cb

Just an FYI, given Sammy's previous track record, I wouldn't touch any of their players with a 10 foot pole, but YMMV.


And no offense to the retailers, but some of the best deals of the season regarding players have already been had on the net, and without the long lines :ss

IE... a sub 200$ Sony BDP-S350 player /w 4 free movies type deal.... I posted that deal a few weeks ago.


As for discs... Circuit City or Walmart look like the place to shop this season for deals on the movies themselves.


Best Buy has a number of titles at 16.99 (With a 9.99 Doorbuster of Transformers), then Walmart a bunch at 14.99, then Circuit City has a small selection at 8.99 and a large selection at like 16.99 or something like that.

The 350/550 series is actually an incredibly good player. And anyone actually following this format's evolution. I can't even possibly understand the hatred for Sony hardware, when Samsung has clearly been the producer of shoddy hardware through at least 4 generations of BD hardware.



With the 350/550...

5 second turn on time with like a 4-5 second load time make this a 10 second player. Couple in the fact it's native profile 1.1 and 2.0 (with a 2GB USB memory stick insterted to the back of the 350) and it will bitstream all advanced audio codecs (or decode them via analog in the case of the 550). It makes it an exceptional package.

Beats the pants off my Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player that takes a clean 45 seconds to begin playing a movie.

My PS3 is fast as well, but the Wattage rating on it aint so hot.

Little reverse pun right there ;)


I could actually save money in the long run switching to a standalone versus the PS3 just on power savings. Not to mention not wearing down the drive on my overly expensive game machine.



And btw.. the Toshiba works great as a DVD player ;) It's the movies I don't want anymore.

I may have misunderstood.

The BDP-S350 is the cheapest of the bunch usually, then the Panny DMP-BD35K which astonishingly is 237$ right now on Amazon..


So in fact on amazon right now.

The Panny 35 is cheaper than the Sony 350. (220-250$ bracket)

And the Panny 55 is cheaper than the Sony 550 (320-350$ bracket)

I'm lurking in this thread with great interest. Last Christmas I finished up a quasi-theater setup in my basement, complete with a 1080P projector on a 104" screen (or 106"...something like that). I haven't bitten the bullet on a Blu Ray yet and they are finally getting into my price range. :hm

237 is a great price though considering it was in the 299 to 329$ ballpark not even 2 weeks ago.

Depends on your receiver. Does it have HDMI or will you be using analog audio connections? The reason I ask is because the 35 doesn't have analog audio out so you are limited to HDMI to get the advanced audio. The 55 has 7.1 analog audio out.

If the receiver has HDMI I don't see any reason to spend the extra and get the 55.
