[QUOTE="Dolby, post: 45899, member: 17"] I saw the player at just under R2,500.00 at Cats Digital - which still seems alright. I'm new to the whole HD thing and haven't really been following and keeping up to date. However, since I bought my HDTV 3 weeks ago - I think I need to get into BR eventually and checked out some reviews of this player. I notice they say the following : [i]This player is, however, not capable of upconverting standard DVDs to 1080p format, but instead upconverts to 1080p60 format, which is a more commonly supported video format that is a step between 1080 and standard television resolution. This did produce some shaking issues due to the upconverting. Its ability to upconvert is certainly not the best out there, but it's still within tolerance of watchability. [/i] Isn't 1080p and 1080p60 very close anyway? Also, I remember some of the older players being obsolete shortly after they were lauched due to BD profile and BD Live or something. I there anything on the cards that may come? Or have they finally finalised the spec? Safe to buy? ;) [/QUOTE]
