The Beonic Man: Thanks for all comments so far. I will refrain from buying the PS3 and wait for the updated DVD player for my BV7-40. If I were a game player then I might be very slightly tempted but to read people's comments that HD content on many disks is not any better than SD content, well, that says it all I think! It is becomming clearer

May I enquire who is using a projector with BS3 and what model?? any general expereinces welcome!!

KENMAC: Is it worth it ? The short and probably unhelpful answer is I'm not sure. We have the BV7-32 (rather than the 7-40). There is some benefit in picture quality over a standard DVD player. The PS3 even does a reasonable job of upscaling normal DVD's though no doubt not nearly as good as a BV7-40(V3). Clearly the screen size (32 inch) probably

Niveau: Beolab, I don't agree with you : -) What sounds "nice and smooth" is subjective i agree. I would always meassure on the speakers abillity to get close to recording. The BL8000 just don't do the job for me ! I had problems with the BL9's also.. missing midrange... But they still outperform the 8000 by miles... The Dane Sound

soundproof: SAMSUNG is coming with a combined BluRay/HD-DVD player shortly (been in the rumour mill for quite a while). Maybe B&O are thinking of adapting that? My Hi-Fi dealer recently confirmed he's expecting the Samsung player in January at the latest. http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/04/13/1933201&from=rss Thats correct, but the
