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.

The Panny is an exceptional choice, just in a different price bracket than the Sony.
