So, which BD drive would you recommend ? Should I go straight to the "horse's mouth" and buy a Sony ? does that give me more "guarantees" than a Samsung or other ?

I don't have either yet.. been sitting on the fence for a long time.. glad it's over and we have a winner.. did not care which one, just as long as there is one and not two.

I'm not in a rush.. I can wait 3 to 6 months.. maybe a bit more.
