What Blu-ray Player(s) Do You Use?
I just wanted a snapshot of what people on the forum are using. I tried including most of the mainstream players in the poll. If you chose "other" please state which one.
If you have anything to add, positive or negative, please do.

If I felt it was worth the money (or I just had some to blow) I'd buy another panasonic with the Ethernet connection. I'll live for the forseeable future I think wthout it.

HTPC exclusively. It only cost about $100 to add a Blu-ray/HD DVD drive to it.
I might get a standalone for the bedroom once they come down enough in price.

SONY s350. I started with an s300 last year. Then when I got the BoB box I learned my 1.0 profile player wouldn't play the PiP feature. So I sold my s300 on eBay and bought an s350 from someone who had it new in the box. I think by the time I paid all the fees it was just

That's what I thought. All I ever got from my s300 was DTS and DD. I called SONY to see if I had to change my settings and he told me it downconverts to DD and DTS. I know my Pioneer receiver was capable. It wasn't worth exploring further because I was already deciding to upgrade the machine. I'll let the next owner figure it out.

Started off with a Panny BD-30. Sold that and picked up a LG BH200. Never took it out of the box and it sat in the closet for a few months until I sold it. I then picked up a Panny BD-55 from Amazon.com for about $298 plus 4 blu-ray movies.

Re: What Blu-ray Player(s) Do You Use?
I'll eventually grab another player but there is no rush. We have a 26" TV in the bedroom hooked up to one of my HD DVD players. This way I can play all the HD's, SD's and DVD-r's. We don't use it that much it's just a spare but as time goes on I'm getting all new movies on Blu-ray plus replacing a lot of the better older ones to Blu. Eventually I know I'm going to hear complaints about the player upstairs. IF there is a primo deal on a top-o-the-line SONY or Panasonic I'll grab that for the Familyroom and move the s350 upstairs. Five or six more TV's and players and I can start catching up to my buddy Gizmo.

Would have bought A PS3 if I where A gamer or still played games at home.
