No such thing as enough
Blu-ray players in the world right? Seems just like yesterday we were searching show floors for prototypes and now we live in a time when you can rest assure that your favorite brand has more than one Blu-ray player to choose from. Now if you love Yamaha but couldn't stomach the price of the
BD-S2900, then you'll be happy to hear about its new little brothers, the BD-S1900 (pictured) and BD-S1065 which are $699 and $599. Both have just about every Blu-ray related feature a HD videophile is looking for, like BD Live and full audio codec support. The main difference you get to enjoy for the additional benjamin is RS-232 control, detachable power cord, aluminum front panel and gold plated output terminals. We assume that most will pass on these, but can't ever hate on a company for offering more options and at least some will pay a premium for those premium integrator type features.

Whew. They must have been losing their a$$ on the 2900 (why didn't they just drop the price like Denon did on their 2500 transport?)
I'm not a Yamaha fan, but I sell them, and they need a newer, better, cheaper BD player.
Help me out here. What exactly are we getting with the Yammy that makes it worth over $300 more ( or twice as much ) than the Panny 60?
I'm a huge Yamahalic. I've waited for Blu-Ray because my Yammie DVD/SACD changer is just that good. I have the heavenly B-2 ready and waiting...
When Yamaha puts out a Blu-Ray/SACD, at a price to compete with Oppo, I'll jump on it.
Why would anyone buy a Blu-ray player these days that doesn't handle Netflix?
Because they own a PC?
You must live alone.
Because they want better audio than can be delivered by Netflix.
