Well, I tend to trust the more general neutral-reviews sources like, for
example...CNet.com:
http://reviews.cnet.com/4321-6463_7-6509000.html
(With caveat that most of the PS3 information in the review dates back
to pre-firmware Nov. '06, as does the previous posters')

- Panasonic DMP-BD10 Editors rating: 6.5 Users' rating: 8.3
The Panasonic DMP-BD10 is a very competent first-generation Blu-ray
player, but its high price and the comparably affordable PlayStation 3
make it hard to recommend.
- Philips BDP-9000 Editors' rating: 6.3 Users' rating: 9.0
The Philips BDP9000 has some great design touches and excellent Blu-ray
image quality, but its high price, less-comprehensive audio capabilities
and the comparative affordability of the PlayStation 3 suggest that you
should probably hold off.
- Samsung BD-P1200 Editors' rating: 7.4 Users' rating: 7.1
With excellent image quality, slick design and an attractive feature set
the Samsung BD-P1200 is the best dedicated Blu-ray player yet, but its
high price will scare away most buyers, compared to the...OKAY, WE GET
THE FLIPPIN' IDEA!!! :)
