My First Blu Ray Film

[Bullseye]

I haven't decided on the dedicated player yet but I was leaning towards the Pioneer Elite. I have always bought Pioneer DVD players. But after watching the movie on the PS3 this might be a cheaper option even for the tv room. Anyone connect this up to a surround sound system. I have a nice set of Bowers & Wilkins in the TV room which i want to keep but may have to upgrade my Yahama amp for HD sound. Any advice?

The Sony PS3 will be fine for your TV room. Now if your display accepts a 1080P/24 input and refreshes the image at multiplies of the original frame then go with the Pioneer Elite.
By far the Pioneer BDP-HD1 currently has the best picture quality compared to any other player according to Sound and Vision, Perfect Vision and other sources.

Qoute from Sound and vision
“If your main goal is getting top-notch video performance from a Blu-ray Disc player, Pioneer's BDP-HD1 is the one to buy. Of the four players I've tested so far, this model was by far the picture-quality standout.”
