this player is amazing. Its clearly better than the first gen players, bdps1, even the bd91. there are a few little things to consider about blu ray. It SHOULDN'T play cds. if you have 1000 to spend on an Elite blu ray, then you should have good money, like 600 for a cambridge azur or a like 24 bit cd player. blu ray lasers are very narrow, and will not read cds correctly, and to make them do so would be way more work than is considered worthwhile by the major manufacturers.
That being said, DROOL! best upscaling I have seen on any player to date, full streaming features, and the Pioneer Elite look. Its a really good player and I for one think that its the best to date.
