About the only thing they will notice is boot-up time and disc access time. I agree, all but the PS3 suck in this department.

We are not just talking average consumer here anyway, we are also talking about people like us who are buying into these things now. I find it sad that I cannot find a standalone player that works well - the BD30 was really the only close one (despite its lack of BD-Live), but the LFE bug sunk that player as well. So now I am stuck at square one waiting to see if the April-June players can be at least somewhat fast (i.e. comparable to Toshiba HD DVD players in speed), offer me at least BD1.1 featureset, advanced codec bitstreaming, and no major flaws.
