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.
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.
