Hi guys an girls!!!!!
Got a LX70 (not a LX70A) and have the chance to buy a Sony S500 for £200,
tempted to change players to gain Dolby True HD and hopefully DTS HD Master Audio if Sony make it available via an upgrade.
What would you lot do??????

Opinions gratefully received chaps.

(sorry I aint been on for a while, genuine reasons. (not jail)

Neither...wait for one of the newer player to hit the market in a couple of months and then get a new player.

Thanx Moe, just looked at the grammar on my question and sorry about that.
Anyway, what I meant to add was, I have just bought a Marantz 7002 a/v amp which can decode DTS HD MA and wondered if I should replace my LX70 with the Sony S500?
If, as you say, wait!!!!!! what machine do you think, or Know of is worth waiting for????
Maybe new Denon, Marantz or Yammy????
Problem is, I forked out £900 for LX70 Dec07 (already out of date re audio formats.
Do I really want to spend similar money on new machine when it could soon go the same way because of Blu ray developments, truth is we don't know what's coming next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the Panny BD50 on pre-order, but I would get the Sony S550 if than comes out first.

I have got to dump my crappy Samsuck 1200!
