The Panasonic BD30 is profile 1.1 and seems to be one of the best standalone players at the moment. I have a Samsung 1200 that is a great in terms of picture quality but its firmware is buggy. If I were to buy today it would by the Panny, but I think I'll wait and see what Denon announces at CES before I look to upgrade.

I thought some people here were reporting problems with the Panasonic BD30? Best Buy has it for $499.99. Do you think it is worth the extra $100 over the Sharp? My original thought was to either get the Sony at $699 as a "keeper" or the $399 Sharp as a temporary solution until the real, reliable Blu-ray players come out. Now seems like a good time to jump in because of the Warner announcement and the Best Buy 10 free disc offer.

  Well, there's no perfect Blu-ray player, but from what I have been able to gather, the Panny seems fairly dependable - more so than any standalone Sony (with the exception of the P3). User reviews over at AVS are pretty good. Amazon has the Panny for about $400. I really don't know much about the Sharp, other than its ugly ;)
