Blu-ray on Sony PS3 is nice but fan is noisy. Other Blu-ray players?

Posted by AbeCollins on May 18, 2008 at 12:05:05:
I'm enjoying Blu-ray discs on the Sony PlayStation 3. The discs load quickly and the picture and audio quality are great.

Unfortunately, the PS3 fan is fairly noisy and especially noticeable on quiet scenes.

Do all Blu-ray players have fans? If the fan is necessary, are there any Blu-ray players with "quiet" fans?

Additionally, I'm not up to speed on firmware revisions or features that are yet to be implemented. Are the current crop of Blu-ray players fully mature or are we still waiting for some bug fixes and features?

What might you recommend in the sub $1000 class TODAY? Or would you suggest waiting perhaps another 6 months or more for the final updates?

Thanks!
