    When the water hits around 130 degrees what happens to this thing? Our shower is so hot it destroys all the plastic and rubber washers in about a month. I cant imagine this thing surviving very long.

    @Tyler Watkins: "...the water hits around 130 degrees...Our shower is so hot it..."


    You let your shower get to 130 degrees and higher? You do realize that a shower is for bathing, not cooking your dinner.

    Turns blue when under 78 degrees and red when above 105.8. What color is it when it's in between?

    Why would anyone spend anywhere near $200 for a BR player when you can get a 1080P upconverting DvD player for about $70 that will make pretty much all of your current movies look just as good. I sincerely haven't heard one of my friends say they can tell the difference between BR and an upconverted DvD movie with any of their BR players (and actually most of them still just buy the DvD's because it is cheaper and looks just as good).

    @mltdwn: You may have a 1080p upconverting DVD player, but if your TV is only 720p or 1080i (either because that's what your TV is native, or the connections you're using) both the DVD and the BD will look the same.


    I have a 1080p TV, an Oppo DV-981HD DVD Player, and a PS3, both hooked up to my TV with HDMI. You can tell the difference... or at least I can. But even I still by DVDs sometime, because they're cheaper, and they don't look bad.

    Meh. I'm not giving Sony any money this holiday season. Not even licensing fees. As a matter of fact, in an effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, they're not even getting coal in their stocking this year. I hope someone in their office likes tempeh.

    I wonder how much this will cost: [www.oppodigital.com] ;c)


    I have the DV-981HD, and it's fantastic... for a DVD player.

    If I was going to get a blue ray this holiday season, I probably would have already gotten that $130 one on woot the other day.

    @Joseph: I noticed if you have BD-Live enabled on the PS3, but your PS3 is not connected to the internet, anytime the movie tries to access the internet it stops the movie.


    Is this a PS3 problem or an Iron Man problem (since that was the movie I had the issue with, and the only one I own). Does anyone else have that issue?

    @Rabid Penguin: It happens in most other players too. Usually the player needs to be turned off and turned back on because of freezing.

    Here's the question(s) I have. How many companies make the Blu-Ray drive itself? I know back in the day, Plextor drives were the best, and some other companies would have Plaextor drives in their own enclosure with their name on it, I.E. a Memorex CDRW with a Plextor drive.

    If only a few companies make the drive,can you find a low price player with the same drive as a high price one? What in a Blu-Ray player are the most important/vital parts to ensure great playback?

    @Killtodie: Simplicity's sake. Non gamers just want to play Blu-ray discs by sticking in a disc and hitting 'play'. They don't want to have to navigate an XBR menu with a game controller (or remote at extra cost).

    @Killtodie: They need a player with multi-channel outputs. They want a player that can bitstream the hd audio formats. They want a player that is completely silent. They want a player that doesn't look completely out of place with the rest of their components.


    Is that enough? Let me know if you need more reasons.
