Assuming this does what is promised... then this is the first player to truly beat the PS3 for someone who just wants Blu-ray access right? It can do everything the PS3 does (in regards to Blu-ray playback), is a full $50 cheaper than the cheapest PS3... and it has infrared (for all of us Harmony freaks)!
Since I have my PS3 already with an infrared solution, I'm set, but if I were in the market right now, I think this is what I'd go for instead.
I wonder if it is as slow as other blu-ray players, if so PS3's 30 second load beats 3 minute disk load of other players (of course it consumes about 5x more power while doing so...)
What a couple of knob jockeys you two are! Please explain to me and the rest of the world how these POS players are going to sell to J6P!!! Forget what they MIGHT be priced at 6 months from now, how are they going to sell today! No one is buying BR standalones now, but because you two are blind zealots, it doesn't matter what the market is saying, J6P is going to rush out and buy these POS players at 5x the price of DVD,...... ROFLMFAO,
I always said I will buy BR when a quality product is cheap enough, but idiots like you two are fast turning me off that idea!!

It's profile 1.1 only, so the PS3 still wins.
The P1500 has BD Profile 1.1 Bonus View and is BD Live Ready.
It's "ready" which means that the firmware update will be out sometime next year maybe???
The companion cube would be upset which would result in your own depression if it does not get to enjoy the true enrichment of BD Live!
@WebDev511
No worries, my companion cube is happy... I have my PS3 all updated with BD-Live capabilities already!
