I'd be interested in knowing why Ben picked the lg BD300 over samsung's BD-P2500/2550.

Neutral

Because Samsung Blu-ray players don't have discrete IR commands for on and off. Besides the only thing about the 2500/2550 than the BD300 is the DVD playback quality, which is something I couldn't care any less about.

The Pandora streaming swayed me for my dad's Christmas gift. He had just lost his dish sirius music channels by going to cable, and the cable music channels suck. Pandora on the other hand is pretty sweet. You also already have your media center right there, so that makes the Pandora streaming pointless. When netflix allows hd streaming on PC, the netflix streaming will also be a less useful add on for you as well.

I'd also read about video processing problems with blu-rays. I wouldn't want to look over avs again to find it, but looking at cnet, you're lucky you have a Kuro that does 72hz because the player has no problems at 24 fps apparently. I wouldn't be so fortunate with my Panasonic plasma which also fails 3:2 pulldown according to hd guru.
