Budget is most important, set one and stick to it.
How big is your TV again? If it's over 50-60", then DVD reproduction begins to suffer, and good upconversion helps offset this. This is something we specialize in, which is why our players are so well revered and reviewed. If DVD playback is mostly on the back burner, you will still get what I would call solid picture quality from most any bluray player on the market.
PS3 has easily the most value. It's very future proof, fast to load, plays games as well, and has been software updated beyond what anyone thought it could do.
Are there features that you are looking for? Netflix streaming or 3D perhaps? Maybe you like it when a player is just simple, and just simply works... no frills.
Yes, take your time and do your homework.

Wow just read a review on the BDP-83 player and even though I don't think I need all those features I feel like I should buy one...lol
Don't think I can take advantage of the true 24p playback as the TV I want doesn't have 24P (gotta check the specs again) but the SACD seems interesting. Also like the fact that one can turn off the front display. Never thought about that but that would be nice for those late night movie watching nights where all I would want is just the TV emitting light.
If your company ever has any B-stock of this player let me know...lol

Honestly, the BDP-80 would be just fine. I use one at home for testing, and DVDs still look good, mostly cause even on our lowest player the up conversion is pretty good, keeps the DVD quality.
Try one for 30 days, return it if you're not happy.

You're buying a new S2 right? You can use 24p, or, I should say, if the TV can do 96Hz playback of 24p, then yes.

Return policy you say...I just might give it a shot.
Thanks!

Gagan,
On your company's website it says that the BDP-80 is not recommended for "home theaters with large screens". What is considered a larger screen? Is your company talking about huge projection home theater installations? What size TV falls into "small" medium" and "large"?
