Blu-ray players

Hi
It may be that this isn't the best group for discussing the subject. If
there is a better one (uk.media.home-cinema looks dead as does
rec.video.dvd.players), let me know.
Is there much difference in the picture quality or operation between the
Sony BDPS360 and BDPS560? From my research, the older BDPS550 had the
advantage of a 7.1 analog output, but this is gone on the 560. Couldn't care
less about WiFi.
It'd be driving a Panasonic HD (720p) projector with about 100" diagonal
image, if that makes any difference.

I've no experince with the Sony stuff, but if you are looking for a
top-end BD player, then you probably should consider the OPPO BDP-83.

You might want to when it comes to getting software upgrades for it, etc,

However the best Blu-Ray player is reckoned to be the PS3 Games console, and
that has the advantage of other 'multimedia' uses, including BBCi player,
which means you can watch such content full screen and on your telly !

I have a Sony (BDP-S350) and I'm not that impressed with it. It is SO
SLOW loading BR disks and has a poor user interface.

I would never have thought of using a "games" unit but now I have had
time to play with a Playstation 3 it is so flexible and does so many
things well, I would certainly buy one. One big annoyance for me as an
installer was that it would only output sound to one set of outputs at
a time so it was difficult to set it up as an audio "jukebox" and to
feed an HDMI TV etc all at once but the recent software download has
fixed that.
Very good Blue Ray player, and picture viewer and pretty good iPlayer
as well.

The PS3 won't, which as far as I'm concerned is it's only downside.

You can get some players that are multi-region for DVD and a few that
are for both DVD and BD, but they are definitely in the minority. Have a
look at somewhere like www.multiregionmagic.co.uk (no connection, other
than having bought a DVD player off them years ago, but thinking of
getting a multi-region BD player off them at some stage).
