Wait for the new panny 50 or sony saphires. I think Pioneer has a new profile 2 machine, too.

PS3, because it is fully upgadable and one of the fastest loading blu ray players out there.

Now that the PS3 has DTS MA, it's really hard to recommend any other player that's currently out.

Good point, as well. Don't think I've ever had a delay of more than a few seconds.

I am a AV Retailer....
As I do not sell PS3 machines I do not profess to be an expert on all the features and benifits of that player.
My first reccomendation would be a short wait for the new Sony BDPS350.
It will be shipped needing a firmware upgrade (that the Sony Rep says will be available as soon as the player hit the stores) that will make it compatable with any and all uncompressed audio formats and Profile 2.0
It is slated to be released at appx $350.00 US

If you were to guess, when do you think it will be released?

Depends on your budget, but having said that, the PS3 is a pretty tough act to beat, especially when price is a consideration.
