Ps3 is quite noisy(if you can't fit it inside a cabinet it's a problem),but has a good upscaler.

I have bought à Sony BCP-s370. THE dealers all seam to advice Panasonic but these were expensive and à recent test by THE dutch consumers assosiation gave them low scores. The Sony is packed with features so it functions as media center as well. The PUC controls it very well. Also THE menu's in the Sony are not liftster with THE word "Sony" everywhere.

When i was looking at the BV10-46, the dealer here in Melbourne also advised on the Panasonic.  There must be a reason they recommend it I suppose.  I have this BD player / recorder which is also acts as a STB, but i have found the PS3 (the new slim model is better, IMHO) to be quicker to load and has a better interface, has access to internet channels and easy to upgrade via firmware updates and hard disc replacement.  

Merry Christmas, 

Michael.

I have the same sony, my dealer recommended it. Does it's job, and very inexpensive.

Hi guys, I must say the SONY 370 has always had the most BRILLIANT reviews. I saw it in my supermarket yesterday for £99!  incredible. I also like the Pioneer range for their build quality (Superfi have their new model 330 for £150!)

I imagine that those with the Sony 370 would notice that it runs quieter than the original PlayStation3?  IE; no fan noise

Hi Guys,

I've decided to upgrade my Blu-ray player (Sony BDP-360) and for me i've decided on the Pioneer BDP-LX54. My reason for this is the sheer build quality and attention to detail. I feel this will give the best in pure picture and sound and I think it would be a fabulous player for any B&O television. I feel that this product will last!

I know that in radio and the DJ circuit (CD-J range) there is nothing to beat these mechanisms for CD players so i'm putting my faith in their Blu-ray players.

For the moment I am not thinking about upgrading my Samsung but if I should I have no doubt in my mind that I will go for the Oppo BDP-93 or BDP-95, really is a different league. Is audiophile sound quality and benchmark image quality at a very good price point (the BDP-93 is $499.00). The best value for the money you can find and the Beovision has its PUC.

One quick followup. As mentioned on the first page... I have a Panny 85K. Never really thought about it, but I would regard it as silent or near silent -never really noticed it. FWIW.

PS3 is the best Blu-Ray player, and the slim model is not too noisy
