The summer Blu-ray offer problem - Blu-ray Forum

Go Blu · 10-10-2007, 01:48 PM

I am dreading the offer as I plan to pick up a BDP-S500 soon.

BUT the fact that there is a delay is actually a good thing!
Means they can't make them fast enough and there are not enough just sitting around!

Is it just an S300 with firmware updates???? If so then you could save money and get the S300 and update it yourself.

It a bit more than just firmware.
It's closer to the S1 only it has HDMI 1.3 and the latest audio.
Maybe built a bit more solid similar to the ES series,
not that I plan on throwing it around hehe.

Dang, almost wish I waited longer. But then, I wouldn't have about a dozen great movies on blu-ray, now would I?
