kafman, Five months later, that Sony BDP-S1000ES is now available from Amazon at less than USD200 delivered. With an added Roku for Netflix and Pandora it may be preferable for some buyers owing to its analog 7.1 jacks, upconverting quality or image enhancement features. Also, some might occasionally prefer better image and sound than Netflix (or even a PS3) can provide.

Agree w/ comments below. Buy a current model. I picked up a Sony after my Samsung crashed for about $105

Since I only purchased this unit I cannot compare it to the 3 series. In fact I can't even find a 3 series on Samsung's site. Samsung currently lists laptop Series 2 through 9 but there is no 3. Interesting. Many manufacturer sites have filter and comparison tables that will help you decide which system is right for you based on a number of factors like: your intended use (office, home, gaming, etc.), weight, hard drive size, etc. I would say ignore most of the flashy feature claims and try to get a system that has a 7200 RPM hard drive (or solid state but expensive) and at least a 3 year warranty. The reason for this is that the hard drive is typically the slowest part of the computer and might be the limiting factor in performance and the 3 year warranty is just because I don't feel like you should have to pay for hardware repairs the first 3 years. Major hardware problems after three years could mean it is time to replace the machine. If you are buying for a student (maybe for college) I would recommend a 5 year warranty with accidental damage protection. In this way you are assured that they SHOULD make it through college without needing to buy another computer when they drive of for the big game with it on top of their car :) A little long winded I know but this is what I do for a living. I hope this helps. Regards, Michael

47LW5600 is actually $999, about $400 cheaper than the 6500. It seems the only difference between the 5600 and 6500 is the 6500 has 240 hz refresh vs 120 hz on 5600 - that wasn't as important to me.I have seen the 5700 also for about $1000 - but it does not have wifi capability. It does come with a stripped-down 3D BD player so you end up having to trade wifi connectivity for Blue-ray - guess it just depends what's more important to you. That's why I ended up going with the 5600 - I wanted smart tv to stream movies. I'll pick up a BD player at a later time.

You'll find another Amazon discussion thread about the BD35 being discontinued, which probably has something to do with it too. The 55 is now Panasonic's only (or main, at least) Blu-ray player on the market, until they release three new models in March or April.I am bummed about this new pricing too. I ordered a 55 on Christmas Day from an online vendor for $305, then ten days later they cancelled my order, saying they were "oversold" and suddenly everyone is selling it for $399 or more. I'm gonna wait...

Thanks for the excellent suggestion! This was not available as an option when I was looking at alternatives to the (out-of-production) BD55 a year ago. It's got what I need - analog 7.1 out (why I am not interested in the BD60...) and BDLive (because why would you buy a player that wasn't internet-ready?). The SACD is a BIG plus in my book... I never said I wouldn't pay $500 for a player - I just said I wouldn't pay $500 for a $250 player...I notice the Oppo doesn't 'do' Amazon streaming media - but that's Amazon's problem, not mine...

Thanks for the response. I also bought the 57731, from Best Buy, which was selling it this past weekend for $1,999. That was before HD cable rebate ($100 plus free installation... if you don't mind waiting almost 2 weeks) & Rewards Card rebate (another $120). That made the net $1,780, not bad for a 57" 1080p DLP...In any case I don't need the SD Card reader because I have a computer connected to it which contains my music and photos.

I think if you can find the HD at a decent price I'd go with it. I got mine (Ultra HD) at Best Buy on sale for $169.99 plus I had $10 dollars in rewards coupons, so $159.99. I think there is about a $50 +/- difference in the two. I love the video on the HD, but I've seen two Ultra video reviews that look pretty darn good in quality. I'm thinking of getting my son the Ultra non HD for Christmas, just because he will trash it quick and why spend the extra $$$.

I bit the bullet and went with the Sony. Mainly because Circuit City was offering it for $329. Also because it had a better fps and ISO capabilities, if I remember correctly. The 4 gigs of memory set me back $59 though and the case was another $20, so that put me at $415 after tax. I must say that this thing takes awesome pics. I got it mainly for my kids sports. The 2.2 fps and sports mode are nice. The image stabilization seems to do a good job to on other pics. I have not used the remote control yet, but plan on usnig it to try and get some close ups of birds or squirrels, etc on a day when I have nothing else to do. I bit the bullet and went with the Sony.

I just sent the same request to Amazon customer service. Maybe if they get enough requests something will happen. our BD 570 is only 2 years old - so were not ready to go shopping for a new Blu-ray player yet.here are the links for customer service @ both sites - if we barrage them with requests - maybe something will happen?https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/contact-us?ie=UTF8&nodeId;=508510&https://wws.lg.com/us/support/message-customer-support

J. Greer, which Best Buy did you get your TV from? The ones that I have visited in MI are not even carrying any 950s, I am not sure why. Also, did any of you compare the picture quality of the 950 with the 850? Is there a big improvement? Not sure which one I want to get, I realize one is LED and one is not but the A850 has a great deal on it while the 950 is on the expensive side for me. If there is a big difference I am willing to spend extra on the 950. Thanks!

Both are good cameras but S95 has a better image quality and it shoots raw but if u are not into image editing then u dont need raw format jpeg will be good enough. The real con for p300 is that it dosent have a good video quality in HD mode be it 720 or 1080P. Its video is choppy but if u record in non HD u will be good. Right now p300 is $230 with free shipping. I will get it rather than get s95. Both qualities will never match up to DSLR. $230 offer ends 1 OCT 2011. get it now people. rather than spend almost $400 as in $360+ on s95. FYI s100 is out.

I currently have the A3 for my 40" 1080i Samsung LCD. I also picked up a new A35 from Best Buy for $150. Now I have a back up/player, If I decide to upgrade to a 1080p TV. Go online to bestbuy.com, see if the stores in your area have any available. If they do, then run! At this price they're going very fast.Remember the five free movie rebate is still going, you have until 2/28.

I got an extremely good deal on the 550, I paid for the 550 brand new ($319; amazon/free 2 day shipping) and it only cost me $20 more than the 350 ($299 at wal-mart). I have no problems with the 550 at all. It's played every blu ray I've put in it.

Sony website says 910 is discontinued. It might be newer, but the screen is smaller. I had the 1000, and I would rather have it than the 910. Had to sell my 1000, but I sold it for the same price that I bought it for, 2 years earlier!
