Blu-Ray Player Help
(11 Jun 2009)
I've been thinking about buying a blu-ray player but I want one that I can play region 1 blu-ray discs on. I've had a look on amazon and this one seems like a good player but is there a way I can play region 1 discs on it?

Which Blu-Ray player?
(27 Apr 2009)
I'm finally going to take the plunge into Blu-Ray, but as I'm on a tight budget, what are the current best value players? and do I really need to worry about Profile 2? Also, any region free for BD disks or at least for SD DVD's as I have a 50/50 split on R1/R2 and want to use as an upscaller?
These are the players I've been looking at:
Panasonic DMP-BD35EB-K Profile 2 Blu-ray Disc Player with BD Live £162
Sony BDPS350 Blu-ray Disc Player 1080p Full HD £150
Samsung BD-P1600 Blu-ray Disc Player -...

joerod Blu ray Player Comparison Ratings Summer 2009
(30 Jun 2009)
My Summer 2009 Blu ray comparison report is finally finished. Before anyone gets upset please keep in mind these are only my personal views and opinions. Everyone's set ups are different and everyone's results may vary. I judged the players on pic Q for Blu ray and SD dvd. I also based sound Q on analog and HDMI. Other criteria considered was build Q, features (including tweaking with picture adjustments) and the overall package. I own duplicate copies of a few titles (Blu ray & SD dvds) so swit...

Master List of our "Loungers" Blu-Ray Concerts, Musicals and Music related...
(16 May 2009)
I thought it would be interesting and useful to see what everyone has in their collection that relates to music. The category would include concerts, movies about music or famous musical artists, and special interest releases that include music in addition to the documentary or travel subject. Since this is my primary collection interest you'll find I have much of what is out there right now in this category, especially the special interest releases. If it's on my list it means it's good, I don'...

Contemplating a media player/streamer...is a Blu-Ray mega-changer a better...
(03 Jun 2009)
OK, I'm sure I'll get just the answer I expect in the "media player" area, but i'll give this a go anyway.
I like collecting movies. Now, with Blu-Ray, I have moved on to those- of course, at a huge premium for space. I want the full movies, no compression (beyond the BD source, anyway ). That said, it appears the "average" film's about 30 GIG's. For the sake of argument call it 30 movies per TB- prolly safe anyways, as I'll likely want the majority of the bonus content.
OK, so at 100 BD's, that...
