  • this is not a review, this is expressing an opinion, how about some comparison images from the PS3, XDE500, AND BLU-RAY, and let the reader judge for
    themselves, it does not matter what the technical specs are, the picture the
    player presents is the best way of giving the best result

  • It is often stated that 1080p on a 32inch LCD is "overkill" and that a "HD Ready" 720p is better value. If this is the case then surely a product like this it better value when used with a 32inch LCD than Blu-Ray. Obviously with larger screens Blu-Ray is going to look a lot better Posted by John, UK
  • we're able to play all of our existing DVD's on it and I can't imagine they could look much better than they do now! Posted by http://astore.amazon.com/Sony.DVP-FX930.Portable.DVD.Player-20, USA
