I have no doubt about it being the best Blu-ray player. The only thing I hate is the fan noise. I must have been lucky with my Xbox 360s or unlucky with my PS3, as both the 360 that died and my new one are way quieter than my PS3. Generally, people seem to think the PS3 is quieter. So the fan noise is a little distracting during quiet scenes in movies. That's my only problem with it. One of these days my equipment will be in a walk-in closet behind double-paned glass or something.
