Tell you what I miss now that I have a sizable collection on Blu. . .a Changer. I have the sony 400 disc dvd changer and love that at the end of the day, my DVD's are in as good of shape as they were when I put them in. That, to me is a drawback on Blu, too much handling of the disc. Not a big issue for me, but when you have a wife, kid, family/visitors who want to watch a blu, you cant always be sure they will treat them as well. And the price of entry for a BD changer is still a bit too high for me and I'm not sure if the VQ is as good as my oppo. If you love your Sony DVD changer ( had one ES version ), you'll love the Sony BD changer even more..It's just too awesome and intuitive, with the menus popping up with their covers art all there for one to choose from, gracenotes is just awesome. My favorite and only Sony component in my home  Djoel |

You do know that you can find the Sony BDP-CX960 for less than the oppo if you look hard enough. |

You do know that you can find the Sony BDP-CX960 for less than the oppo if you look hard enough. Yep I know, I know. But I would like to have the ES if possible and I memory serves it is still ~1K+. Hard sell to the wife when we only have around 200 Blu Ray discs. She also is slightly paranoid that Sony's menu system is still crappy and would want to see on in person before purchase. Not sure if this happened to you djoel, but with my 985 & 995 changers, we would spend hours entering movie titles only to lose them frequently. Supposedly its better with the new mega changers. Also, the old Disc Explorer Menu was way to clunky/slow for us. Anywho, maybe I can ask for it for xmas this year. Djoel, is the VQ on the unit you have comparable to that of an oppo? |

Hm I don't recall the exact unit I own, but it was ES and Silver if that helps, I know if I look at my old records I can dig it up, but no I never lost info like that, Which would drive me crazy, crazy enough to toss out a window.  Hm I wouldn't say comparable to the Oppo 83ES which I owned, but very close to it. Just enough not to feel you've gone backward I'm hoping there are some device that can be integrate for vast set up, and multi changers at a cheap price  DJoel DJoel |

"Once Upon a Time in the West" on Blu-ray is a must have for any Cinema lover! * I also have the Blu of "Once Upon a Time in America".  __________________ Blu-ray will eventually 'dislodge' DVD for good! ...That would be about goddamn time! ;D
