To get things back on track....

I have nothing to compare to, as the PS3 slim is my first Blu player, but load times seem fine to me.

After watching a couple movies, I realize I'll need to bite the bullet and get the harmony adapter. Especially for times like this weekend where I'm going away and my wife wants to watch a movie. I'm going to have to train her on how to use the PS3 controller as a remote just so she can watch while I'm gone.

Maybe I'll hold out until Christmas and put in on my list. I always have trouble finding affordable things to come up with. We'll see if I can wait that long.
