BD player poll - Blu-ray Forum

MATTYBLU2 · 12-19-2007, 04:17 PM

i will be buying a player this week and wanted to get some opinions. i know alot of you are big PS3 fans, but that is not an option for me sorry. i prefer a standalone for now.

its a toss up with me on price vs. quality. also i am not in a big rush to update my receiver for the audio. really want the best PQ though. thanks

Um, try a PS3, that is your best bet.

Anywho. The Panasonic 30 is the way to go as far as standalones right now. My brother has it and a S300 and I got to test drive both and the Panny blows the s300 out of the water.

The PS3 is a standalone. It just has the ability to do more than the units on your list. There is a good reason why most reviewers use the PS3. It is the best out there for media reproduction. It's not just for games.

Ps3

I thought he said no PS3! haha I mean I rock one as do many of us but if he doesnt want one, he doesnt want one! plain and simple. If you look at the poll results, I think they speak for themselves! Good luck with your decision!

ottscay · 12-19-2007, 04:46 PM

Yeah, go for the Panny BD30, it's awesome.

yes i did read what he said, but i had already stated in my first post about the PS3.

thanks for your opinion

inaz4sun · 12-19-2007, 04:58 PM

And what we are telling you is that you should want one, because it is one of the best Blu-ray players, in fact one of the best anythings out there. Don't waste money on a player that really only does one thing. Get the best thing there is, and so much more. You won't be disappointed. If you don't, a year from now you wish you would have. Anyway, that is my advice, take it or leave, its your money.

MATTYBLU2 · 12-19-2007, 04:59 PM

does anyone have the panny BD30 hooked up to a onkyo 605 receiver? was wondering how it goes with that receiver? does it decode HD DTS MA? thanks

I bought the Panasonic BD-30 just last week (replacing a Sony S1). So far I really enjoy this player because it seems very fast (compared to the S1) and it can stream all the lossless audio codecs to a receiver that can decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS MA. My Home Theater experience has really improved since the upgrade.

The only thing I am missing is the Bitrate display. I like to check new movies to determine the max bitrate. The Panasonic might have this function but I can't figure out how to enable it if it does have it.
