A question for those with ver. 2 stand-alones - Blu-ray Forum

Zman2k2 · 10-10-2008, 03:52 AM

How fast is the load times on these discs? I would hope that it's faster than the original ver. 1 players, but is it noticeably faster? Reason I ask is that I'm kind of sick of using 2 remotes to watch a movie. I'm thinking of selling my PS3 and going to a stand-alone, but I'm worried about the load times. I've been spoiled with the PS3, and I don't want to go back to my old S300.

I just got the S350. It's loading very fast. For example.. the first time you load Transformer it takes like 1 minute because it copy the BD-Live software on the USB Key. After that. It takes like 2 seconds of ...LOADING...

I timed Enchanted and it's about 1-2 second slower than the BD30, but the interface is more responsive than the BD30...

S350, fast load times, especially with quickstart enabled. Sony style has it for 299, and if u sign up for the card, 150 statement credit. = 150 great player
plus its like half the size of the 300
