The first thing I need to say in this review is that I'm not a hardcore techie and will not be able to provide you with all of the megachip or spins per second kinda data you might be interested in. All I am is an average person who wanted to get the most out of my plasma tv. Naturally Blu ray seemed the only way to go for the best home movie experience.
With that being said I'm not a complete newb either, I have done some homework. So here's what I think about this player without having much experience with any others:
LOAD TIME: I've noticed many customers are interested in how fast the blu rays load.. I can't really compare this player with many others, but I know I'm an impatient person and have yet to feel annoyed by any loading times. So even if it's not the best, it's certainly good enough.
PICTURE & SOUND: Of course this is what it's all about, and I must say the quality is very good. The blu rays look and sound amazing and though it's less noticeable, when I play a regular DVD there is for sure a sound improvement, but the picture is a little harder to notice... maybe it's just my untrained eye.
SETUP: As I said, I'm not a techie, but this was a breeze to setup. Plug and chug, you barely even need to consult the instruction booklet. Having had a Panasonic dvd player before, I was delighted to see the remote was nearly identical to my old one, and wasn't confusing at all.

Overall analysis: The truth is, Blu Ray is still a new technology. There's going to be improvements, there's going to be price drops (a certain "W" retailer is currently selling one for $98). At $200 the price has already dropped enough to make it an affordable splurge, and even though this system is nice I've been increasingly jealous of some of the other amenities more fancy players come with. For example, the Netflix and Amazon streaming ability is something I'm really wanting, although you CAN stream youtube with this player. Some players also include built in wi-fi which sounds like a much easier way to access the internet through the player.
So.. should you get this one? Well, I can't say no, because I love it and think it works great. Is it the best value right now? Well.. I dunno. Maybe if you just want to try blu ray out it'd be worth going as cheap as you can get until they master all the cool gadgets and add-ons. Is blu ray in general worth it? Absolutely. If you have an HD tv, you have to have blu ray. It's the only way to watch a movie.Get more detail about Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player, Black.
