When the player has a problem with layer changes you don't have to look for them, they simply freeze up and stop playing for those 1-2 seconds but that small amount of time is very frustrating when you are watching and the action stops. This Samsung also doesn't like minorly scratched up discs like you generally get on a rental disc. I have had to return a few rented movies because they wouldn't play on this player. I will most likely end up using the Xbox for standard def for awhile.

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.

Ah, 3 pages of discussion and dissent. Perfect!
How about the older Oppos? I'm not jumping on the BD bandwagon just yet--I don't think they'd work all that impressively with a 27" CRT--so I was toying with the idea of a used Oppo something or other. I don't really need a changer any more, since it's all on the GASP iPods... I know you’re not looking for s BD player Ken but I just saw this. http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/trans...n-dbp-1611ud-fl

You learn something new every day. I have a Sony DVP NS755V DVD player that I've always thought was pretty useable, although old. But I've always noticed those little 'freezes', only I always thought it was a finger print on the DVD or something like that halting playback for a second while it gained it's composure. Wow, so that's a 'layer break' then eh? Well now I'll know what's going on when that little pause inturupts things.
Amazing how many times you can experience something and have absolutely no idea what it is until someone else mentions it.

It only happened on some DVDs. Sometimes I would get a complete freeze And nothing short of a chapter/scene change would resolve it.

I have both the Oppo BDP-80 and Sony 60GB PS3 that support SACD.
If you do not intent to use the analog out of the Oppo, The BDP-80 would be a very good player. And the PS3 is pretty fast as well and the HDMI handshake issue from the PS3 are lesser with my Marantz SR6003. Only thing that is the PS3 does not do bit streaming of HD-Audio. PS3 bitstreams with newer updates. That's actually one pro that no other player can claim. The processor is so powerful that they can probably do whatever is required via software. Sort of future proofs the unit. Older units however (40GB one, for example) had some fan noise issues. More than likely, it's because the CPU heat sink separated from the CPU. So be careful if you're shopping around for an older PS3.
