This player is terrible. Was so excited to get it a week before it was available in stores, but I should have just purchased a PS3. Not only does it take like a minute to turn on and open the tray, but you gotta wait another minute or so for the damn movie to start (movies that have Java only) I really wanna stick with Sony, but i also want a Blu-ray player that can bit-stream out DTS HD Master Audio and DD TrueHD. What's going on with the price on this player too. It was $500 when released...then $400...then $300 for the Holiday and now back at $400. If you are deciding to buy a Sony Blu-ray player...I would go with the PS3 over this. PS3 is faster and can decode TrueHD. Lastly, this thing has been acting funny for the last month, and it has firmware 3.30. It's been over a week and Sony still has not sent me firmware update 3.70 as requested. I hope this is the fix to my problem. (i.e. picture and sound cuts out and Blu-rays freeze) I see I am not the only one having this problem either. Two movies with excessive problems include Stomp The Yard and War. I had to restart War like 5 times, which is absolutely unacceptable due to the fact that it is a Java disc.
