RE: Pioneer Blu-Ray

Blu-ray looks spectacular on a good 1080i set (as does HD DVD).

I'm not sure the Pioneer player is a good buy at the moment. It's a 1.0 profile player, and one of the reasons it's being discontinued is the new profile players are due Any Day Now. There are questions as to whether the 1.0 players will be able to play new-profile media.

$500 isn't a huge sum for us wealthy audiophools ;-) but if you want to dabble in Blu-ray right now it's probably better to buy a cheaper throw-away player. The Sony BDP-S300 is selling for under $400 in many retail stores.
