IMO, having a USB player that supports NTFS would be a deal breaker - as most HDDs come formatted in NTFS by default.

Correct apart from playing higher bitrates , they also bring in improvements like increase in number of file characters that can be read etc. But overall there is not that much difference.

Hi illusion, I believe the file names that can be read (8) is a limitation of FAT32 formatting - and unless you get NTFS, you will not be able to increase this...

I am skeptical about this theory.I have read this theory in many forums. That is because there are unofficial firmwares available for philips which increase the number of character to 14 and more . Moreover LG DV 388 has the capability of reading a large number of characters , I think 20+, and it reads the same from Fat 32 format.

^^ True
e.g. Check out this link FAQ for Pioneer DV-600AV. It has unofficial firmwares for Pioneer DVD players which shows 50 chars in file browser for Pioneer.

Yeah correct . The only reason for me to consider Philips now is beacue of the fact that somehow Philips is avery popularly discussed player in USa and UK forums . So there a lot of firmware hacks available for the same. But again all these upgrades are at your own risk !
