To be honest I am not even considering HD/BR,we have to realistic most people that have purchased players are the same consumers who twenty five years or so where saying to what is the big deal with lazer discs and of course,I would explain the benefits e.g good quality picture audio and so on,Now these same people are bosting how they latest this and how many titles they have.When the now humble DVD was here in R4 side of the world, I was pleased like most "Videophiles" then as players were released from the majors Pioneer.Sony and so on.at lower prices so was the end of quality in the machines,At the moment I am sticking with my sic standard machine an up scale Denon which has HDMI,Firewire(AU$2900}.So I will not be purchasing,sure I like what I see,But you people(I am trying to be politically correct} know already standard in hardware will drop in reliability and quality.If do purchase any related to HD or Blu Ray it will be Combo type........
