Not sure about Panasonic, but I believe Sony has a BDP (not 100% sure).

Besides, a number Indians are banking on PS3 for blu-ray disk play back. So that seems to be an okay option for the time being.

In any case, Blu-ray disks will take time to take off in India. Who wants to pay 1000 Rs to watch a 2-months movie

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD30 bluray player

Except the *full* HD audio decoding & lack of display screen, PS3 is superior or equivalent to any other BD players in the market. Panasonic DMP-BD30 can be made region-free for SD DVDs with special remote.

If you are not a frequent overseas traveller and don't buy blurays frequently best bet is to build a HTPC capable or running HD moves and get someone to ship HD materials in HDD. I'm not intended to encourage piracy, but you guys know the drill!

Yup, Sony has a BDP listed on their site. I think its the first gen model they released last year. Cost Rs.60K! I've also seen BD movies in Planet M stores in Delhi. Cost Rs.1800 each. But there are only 5-7 titles. Whats the point of all this I don't understand. Why release a BDP that costs as much as their own LCD TVs?!

For now, am happy with good ol' DVDs!

EROS has promised 500 titles. The first one is already out.
Sony is planning 100, starting May.

You can count on me for one
Just waiting for the profile 2, 3 players to arrive.

Regards,

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD30 bluray player

First they should fix the painfully long load times for discs with BD-J content. Else I feel it is too soon to invest in a BD player. I understand newer players will use hardware acceleration to increase startup and load times which are up to 2 minutes for some titles now -- that will give buyers more confidence.

Pioneers BDP LX70 is a great player. since the market is growing the prices should drop every month.

Regarding loading times, PS3 is quickest with less than 90 seconds, followed by Panasonci BD30 (2 minutes). Worst is Pioneer LX70, with a loading time of 4 minutes!!
