Have you felt the enormous heat emitting from them ?
You could toast bread on the heat vent ports.

How about the lobster claw type disc grabbing mechanism ?
I do not need a players sticky/dirty claws/rollers touching my discs.

You also can't put it in an enclosed AV rack like a SAL player or it will heat up and die and possibley heat up other AV equipment.

Can't stack other AV component on top of it due to it's shape.

Can't bitstream lossless audio. Yes, we know it supports LPCM but does it via software emmulation, which most likely takes up more CPU power thus emitting even more heat.

I'll stick to my BD30 which loads pretty fast and supports all my needs.
