In Reply to: Blu-ray on Sony PS3 is nice but fan is noisy. Other Blu-ray players? posted by AbeCollins on May 18, 2008 at 12:05:05:

The linked chart includes discontinued, current and known future players. Regarding the profiles in Blu-ray, you need to determine what profile is relevant to you now and what you might want in the future. As for the audio, unless a player can decode the advanced audio codecs (DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD) and send the audio out the analog connection, you will need a player that can bitstream the new codecs and a receiver that can decode them. Otherwise, the lossy codecs and native PCM (which is disappearing due to the advantages of the advanced audio codecs) are the limit.

There are and will be inexpensive players coming to the market ($300 - $400, but not in the linked chart yet), but the best that they will be able to do is stream the advanced audio codecs to a compatible receiver, not decode them. Also not listed in the chart are 2 Pioneer players: BDP-51 and BDP-05.
