E'pin Sen Ob,

The next few months are going to be interesting that's for sure.

I am going to wait until all of the specs are out on both the Panasonic BD50 and the Sony S550.
They both seem to have what I want in a Blu-ray player but, like you, I tend to be very loyal to the Sony brand.
I have had such good luck over the years with their product that I have a hard time buying anything else but the Panasonic looks really good at this time.
