Look out for traffic and avoid big lorries.

Sony and Panasonic seem favourites. Sony play SACD's where many do not. Best advice for bdp to start with reviews.

Cheers

RE: looking for advice

What's your budget, & what are your requirements? Are you going to listen to music as well? Do you want DVD-Audio / SACD capability as well? How many DVDs are you going to watch?

RE: looking for advice

And what about DVDs? Do you have a lot of DVDs?

Don't expect a massive difference from PS3 when playing blu rays. For blu ray picture playback, I did not find any difference between my Panasonic BD60, PS3 & Denon 2500BT. The main difference is in DVD upscaling.

Your Yamaha will decode audio brilliantly, so you don't have to worry about sonic performance.

Look at Denon 1713UD, Oppo 93, Denon 2012UD, Marantz UD5007, Cambridge Audio BD651, Panasonic BDT500, Pioneer LX55 & Sony S790.
