Im planning on buying a Blu-ray player since the HD-DVD empire collapsed along with my HD-DVD xbox 360 add on ( tough lesson to learn) but which is a good blu-ray out there to buy under 500?? I heard stories about long loading times, and i have seen plenty on youtube vid's, my HD-DVD player did not have that problem, and then i heard about firmware updates. I dont wanna spend half a grand on a blu-day player and find out its out dated on the firmware. Any suggestions on a safe purchase.
forgot to mention, i wouldnt mind a PS3 but all the games i like so far are on 380 and future games coming up exclusive for 360 like Gears of War 2 and Resident Evil 5, Ninja Gaiden 2 etc.. although ps3 sounds logical, i wont have time to toggle between ps3 games and xbox 360 games.
correction i mean 360, lol.. not 380.
Its kinda odd to me, buying a gaming console system just for the Blu-ray, although being able to download firmware on it does sound good.... are there blu-ray players out there that can enable you to update the player, or should i just wait till' blu-ray players catch up with firmware updates.
 
The best-selling Blu-Ray player on the market is the Playstation 3. It's a very capable player, capable of playing Blu-Rays, DVDs, and digital video files. I have one, and it is a very versatile media center. Firmware updates are released periodically, so don't worry about falling behind in software.

Go to us.playstation.com to learn more about the PS3's line of features.

PS3 is the best and one of the cheapest blu ray players you can buy. Unlike most other players, it is virtually future-proof as far as firmware updates. You can pick up a 40GB PS3 for $399. It supports Blu Ray Profile 2.0(the next gen blu ray firmware) and has HDMI 1.3 And it has built-in wifi so downloading firmware updates is easy.
