denon blu ray player

[psulionroar]

Tested out the dvd2500bt bluray player this weekend. Didnt see too much of a difference between it and a PS3. Anybody else use this player yet?

I hear this player is still relatively hard to find. I think initial supplies have already sold out and wider availability won't happen for a week or two.

we have plenty in stock where i work which is a wholesale distributor

Actually it is not too different from a Panasonic BD-30.
They are virtual clones.

I had thought DenonJeff posted that the only thing in common between the two players was the front end chip?

I am actually looking at it right now hooked up to a Sharp 65" LCD, and I can tell you that it makes this TV look a lot better than it normally does. The specs and features are virtually the same as the panasonic, but the chassis is much larger, meaning larger processors etc. So although the same bluray drive, it is still using denon's better components. This bluray player is great, it upconverts better than the other units, at least to my eye, and the bluray playback is second to none, at least for what has been released so far.

EDIT:I just sold one to a lady by the way

Yes, it has the same dvd upconversion quality and the same LFE bug.
(almost identical setup screens)
Different case and build quality of course.
