Re: Is it just me, or are the BluRay titles in Australia distinctly underwhelming?

Two thoughts: JB is stocking what they can sell, and not everything released so far in the US has been released here yet. I suspect both of those thoughts are true.

I think the $500 price point is still a long way away, but a $1500 machine (equal in price to the Samsung), or better still a $1000 machine (equal in price to the PS3 which probably has a fair bit of price subsidy from Sony built into things and still costs way more here than it does in the US) would seriously get me considering a purchase provided the biggest issues with the first gen machines had been fixed and the range of films available had improved.

Query worth considering: most DVD players released here are region free since the court decision on that some years ago. Are the Blu-ray and HD DVD machines being released here also region free or is someone going to have to fight that fight again?
