I own both BDPS300 (Blu-Ray) and HD-AX2 (HDDVD) both using high end Nordost HDMI cable hooked-up the a Pioneer PRO-110FD and the toshiba player beats Sony hands down on picture quality. And Yes, I have compared several movies! I don't care who wins the war, I just want quality products. Sony always over promises and come short of delivering what they promise....Can we really expect a decent sub 200$ player or will it be a crappy player capable of loading a blu-ray disc?

For all fanboys out there, do your homework before replying!

Its just a 5 1/2 inch drive for the PC. Its just a BD-ROM Drive. Not a player. PQ and AQ will depend on many factors. 1 being your video card and CPU for a steady frame rate. 2 being that your video card is HDCP ready,3 being that your sound card can handle 16 and 24-Bit audio@48KHz (If your sound card can handle 48Khz it should be able to handle 192KHz and 96KHz resolutions) another thing is the program itself. This is a good price for a BD drive but they still need to come way down in price to get swallowed up by the general public.
