I'll consider a second DB player when they finally get the BD-J disc load times back up to snuff.

I hold out hope that firmware will further save my S300, but it is time for Sony to make a FAST kick ass stand alone player. PERIOD.

All Sony needs to do to make a good standalone player is to offer a redesigned PS3 player that physically has the same case as a standalone player. If Sony were to just make a new model of PS3 that looked like a standalone player then this would be very attractive with fast load times.
