Why not throw in the extra R2k and get a PS3? What are the differences between this and that?
a PS3 is region locked and there is no way to unlock it
I have no problem with the PS3, but I own a couple of DVDs from different regions (and yes I obtained them legally through amazon and so on), and the reason they are from different regions is because you can;t get them here. So that is why I am keeping my eye on a blu-ray player, but first need to upgrade the ol receiver, mine only goes to dts digital 5.1

I also think the PS3 is the best value for your money.
It's a gaming console, music server (yes, I'm busy copying all my music cds to my PS3), internet browser, online store, cd player, blu ray player, picture viewer......well, all-in-one home entertainment system.

Why not replace your region 1 dvds with blu ray disks, as titles get released?
I had a Toshiba multi region dvd player and a bit sad that I am losing my zone 1 copy of Saving Private Ryan (the American version is DTS) when I got my PS3, but I'm sure it will be released with both Dolby Digital and DTS on the blu ray version.
I've got a Z2 of SPR with DTS...
oh boy, I actually thought this was serious. the best blue ray player is the oppo BDP-83 : http://www.opposhop.com/en/article/58/oppo_bdp_83_blu_ray_disc_player
and if you have some real bucks, you can buy a properly modded one. once they are released for the mainstream of course http://www.custom-ht.com/oppo.html

How can you say this when the product hasn't even been released yet?

Sony invented blu ray, think I'll stick with them.
because oppo has sold about 350 of them already. There are reviews all over the net from the "early adoption program". They should become available in the US by the end of next month, european version (that's us poor suckers) "to follow a month later"

The Sony Blue Ray player is not even R200 more than the LG one...think I saw it on special last week for just over R3500. so why not spend the extra bit and get the Sony...after all, THEY developed Blue Ray....and its an LG...

I still say the PS3 is the best deal, but if you only want a blu ray player, the S350 and S550 looks very tasty.
Oh, btw, the Sony S350 got 5 stars from What Hi-fi magazine.....

Why don't you just buy the Popcorn Hour a-110 ? It plays everthing, so you will get the full benefit.
