Finally Took the Blu-Ray plunge

| Well, Christmas seems to be coming a bit early this year, at least for me. Thanks to the combination of my old Sony DVP-S9000ES DVD Player starting to freeze at layer switches and the extremely tempting price cut of the Sony BDP-S1 DVD player (due to the upcoming Sony BDP-2000ES player scheduled to be released at the end of October), I ended up taking the Blu-Ray plunge. Needless to say, the chance to dangle my feel in the Blu-Ray pool for a low price, was just too hard to pass up. (To boot, there was a five free Blu-Ray DVDs offer from Sony if you purchased a qualifying Blu-Ray player by Sept. 30th). One of the first things that I did was the firmware upgrade (from 1.06 to 2.50) I haven't had much time to play throughly with it (outside of upgrading the firmware to the latest level (2.50) ), so a more thorough review will be coming shortly once I get a chance to really play with some Blu-Ray discs and compare a Blu-Ray DVD with a SD DVD that I already own. (Note: I did switch my Netflix account over to Blu-Ray though, which there is no cost for). |
