I've been hearing great things about the JVC unit, the XV-BP1, and also looking at the Sony BDP-N460. Any Samsung/LG units you chaps know that could steer me on the right path? I'm reading the Amazon review pages and the threads here, but figured I'd cheat a bit and create a thread as well.

The only reason I'm not considering the Oppo unit is that I can't fully justify the $500 when there's a new BD spec coming out within a year or so.

Can you spring an extra $50 for a PS3? Or is a gaming console out of the question for you? I only ask because my PS3 doesn't have any of the issues you're currently experiencing. It's got FAST load times, plays every disc I throw at it, and supports 24p.

Edit: Nevermind - saw in your sig you already have a PS3. Why don't you just use that?
