Re: "299 for a denon 1800bd

personally I would go for the Panasonic DMPBD60 or 80

These are two bargains from Richersounds, the Denon is good, but these have more features and will produce just as good or even better images and sound.

The PS3 is good as a bluray player, but i would stick with a separate player

I'd be a bit cautious of the 1800bd unless you can get a side by side demo with other models as they do not appear to have been very eager to send out review samples. That's got to say something right? Or am I being cynical?

I've seen the Denon 1800BD in action, and frankly, compared to my BD35, it's a dissapointment No

Which is not good when you compare the prices and consider the profiles.
