I'm not saying anything bad about anyone in particular, just a reminder.

I'm just saying it's best to remember that false rumor, else this takes on the look of a fan-boy forum.

I know I don't like cheap no-name BD players. I didn't know that this company basically IS Magnavox (and a few others). I have never had a bad Magnavox product in my life. I have a Magnavox VHS player and CRT TV that's over a decade old. So I respect the brand, but I wouldn't buy their BD players, though.

well Funai is a japanese company that has been makeing CE devices for a while and for their price they are good products overall maybe not as good as some of the units that may be a couple $100 more but for the everyday use J6P they are very good. i do think because the DIODE price that SONY was able to get their price down is a big factor as to why Funai IS putting out a blu-ray play so soon. just my OPINION but i have been in the IT industry to know some things an blue laser DIODES was one of the big cost's in a blu-ray OPTICAL drive. that is a fact.
