OK. Time to get a Blu-ray player. But which one - Sharp or Sony?

The Warner announcement would seem to be the death blow for HD-DVD. Too bad, because I don't think there's any BD player out that can compete with my Toshiba HD-XA2 for its combination of picture and sound quality, reliability, and ease of use. I have not needed to do any updates to it and it has played every disc I have thrown into it perfectly. Of course it can't play Blu-ray discs, which now appears to be a major problem. I want to buy a Blu-ray player, preferably today. Best Buy has a 10 disc free offer (5 by mail and 5 instantly in store) that ends today. They have a Sharp BDHP20U for $399.99 or the new Sony BDP-S500 for $699.99. Anyone have experience with these? Thanks in advance for any (useful) thoughts.

Thanks, but I really don't want a game unit., posted on January 5, 2008 at 12:19:13 | |
Plus, and correct me if I'm wrong, the PS3 doesn't have analog 5.1 outputs or a Dolby TrueHD decoder. |
You're welcome, and BB's website is correct, posted on January 5, 2008 at 13:01:41 | |
The BD30 does have 5.1 outputs. I was thinking of a different player. Sorry for the error. |
