Yes, but many Blu-ray players take 30-45 seconds to startup, and then on top of that another 1.5-2 minutes to load a movie (especially BD-J & BD+ titles)! Some of them make the HD-A1 look like a speed demon.
Also, all of them are crippled without final BD2.0 support plus many have flaws such as the LFE bug affecting Panasonic and Denon players. Many without decoders for advanced codecs such as the BD30, as well.
Most of their upconversion abilities are also poor compared to the HD DVD Players and Oppo players.
No getting around it, the current BD standalones are big losers compared to what the HD DVD camp offered. HD DVD is no longer viable, but that doesn't make the current crop of BD players any less sucky.
