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

We are waiting for Profile 2.0 blu-ray players.

Samsung BD-P1500 is reported to have been spotted at Walmart, priced at 348.00. IIRC, this is profile 2.0. Whether you should buy it depends on your view/experience w/ Samsung products.

I know you said today, but the Panasonic DMP-BD50 will hopefully be available this summer. It is profile 2.0. It's MRSP is 699.00, but if its free of bugs and does well at upconverting DVD (I assume it can competently handle blu-ray!), it may be worth waiting for.

Since you already have a "functioning" blu-ray player (PS2), hopefully you can wait till you find a satisfactory replacement. YMMV.
