Hmm, I find it odd... HD Gurus tested the unit at launch compared to more expensive standalones at the time and found it to be better...

What to believe?

Sorry I still think the PS3 is the best option. Not only is it a cheap blu-ray player, but it plays games, music, movies, can look at photos, browse the net, etc. Need I go on?

Show me a Blu-Ray player that can do any of those things for 400 bucks.
