are there any Blu-ray players that's faster than the PS3?

[quitemouse]

I currently have three PS3s. I like everything about them, except that they
are quite slown when I insert a Blu-ray movie. It takes a while to spin up
and go through all the junk before the movie actually starts playing.

are there any Blu-ray players that's faster than the PS3?

Thanks!

What? The PS3 is the fastest player. Are you talking about the trailers and stuff? That has nothing to do with the player.

Oh snap, 3000!

Not the Samsung BD-P 1400 THAT is for sure.

Yeah, I'd like to know, too. Mine just sits on the shelf and makes noise.

I think the Panny BD30 is almost as fast as the PS3 and quiet. Not sure how fast the BD50 is.

[evo_dadi]

My ps3 is super fast. The longest ive had to wait for a movie to load is 15 seconds.

20 minutes? you can't be serious? I do recall my friends standalone taking about 2 to 3 minutes to rev a BD last time I was over there up but 20 minutes?

I'm still thinking about getting a standalone at some point but I LOVE my ps3 for gaming and BD play =]

Totally true story my friend.

I checked it against my 80g PS3 and what happens is the main menu comes swooshing in and then starts to light up and short out a little like a neon light.

On my stand alone, that "swooshing" has to come in Frame by frame and must load and refresh with each frame change. It's totally sad, but since I HAVE the PS3, I don't see a reason to throw the stand alone out the window yet.

So I either go get something to eat before I watch Coyote Ugly, Hidalgo or Spiderman 3 or I just watch them on the PS3

But yeah...even with all the firmware updates...True story..AT LEAST 20 minutes.

I think he means Stand Alone Console. Of course that would be SaC but that is still my guess

I want to revise that statement now.

As of 4x17x08 I have updated to Firmware version 3.80 (from 3.70) and the Java Handling is waaaaaaaaaaaay smoother. Even smoother than all the other updates. Coyote ugly wait time is down to about 5 minutes and the swooshing menu is getting swooshier.

So, at this point, I can once again recommend this Blu Ray player as a good entry level player.

See Y'all later.
