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.


If waiting 3-6 moonths, I would recommend waiting on a recommendation \:\) There will be new entries into the market.

If purchasing now, the Panny BD30 has the fewest issues. You can only enjoy the higher codecs though if you have a newer AVR than can decode them as there is minimal internal decoding.
