another tipping point

in favor of stand-alones are the announcements of players with more capability and processing power. I believe there were at least 4 or 5 players announced at CES that have DTS-HD Master Audio decoding and/or bitstreaming. The Panasonic BD50 looks to be a very competent player (provided they've addressed the LFE issues of the BD30) and should sell for around $399 - $449.

Regarding SCEA and DTS-HD Master Audio (decoding in the PS3), I just wish they'd make an official announcement so interested parties can make a decision. While the word from a Sony insider says it will come to the PS3, I'd like to see something official. I think some of the engineers and firmware coders at SCEA like the fact that they can release updates and still get that "Christmas morning" reaction from PS3 owners. I have to admit it's cool to download an update just about every other month and a piece of electronics you purchased over a year ago now has multiple newer/better/more advanced features added to it for free in a matter of minutes.
