Oh yeah, I forgot about the scratch problem until you mentioned it. The Sony wouldn't play a disk if it had a scratch, period. The Panasonic plays through just about anything. In the 2 years I've had it, I've only had one playback problem due to scratches and I rent from Netflix all the time.
Edit: To be fair the Sony was a DVD player, not a BD player.

Sounds like I should steer clear of Samsung BD players also.
