Whats the difference between the 55 and the 35? http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs...301234|301233| The only difference I found is that the 55 plays divx and has an analog 7.1 output. Not to mention I'm kinda scared about Panasonic, I'm on my third dvd burner from them. My original $200 burner has now cost me over 3. If anything I'll prolly go with something that streams Netflix.

The sound out put is different and the analog part. I will find better specs for you. Amazon has the 55 for only a dew dollars more than the 35
My TV and Blu-ray have been fine. If that is a PC DVD Burner I would agree, that is a different part of the company and the PC stuff is not as good.

im with cloran on samsung stuff i have a tv my cell phone fridge and microwave are all samsung and they all are of the greatest quality imo but then again i dont know anything about panasonic
I would go here http://forum.blu-ray.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29
The guy that are into Blu like we are our tanks say this about the Samsung players: Slow loading times, firmware failures, freeze up during movies
Firmware is something you will update alot on the players
This is something that is different between the 55 and 35, the 55 has better load
times.
Here is another good read: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=70335

It was a home dvd burner. $321 for the 55 and $226 for the 35. Blu-Ray is a lousy idea anyway. Sony undercut Toshiba that mostly the only reason why Blu-Ray won. That and when Sony owns 50% of the movie studios what do you expect. Anyway, I think I'm getting a Wal-mart gift card for it. The other thing the 35 doesn't upconvert. When the samsung for $200 does. The more and more I read about Blu-Ray the least I'm going to spend alot of money into it. Knowing Sony, we'll have to get different players every couple of year anywa.

Man do not get me started on this Blu vs HD DVD crap. You have it all wrong as many others did. Sony was not the only one that started Blu.
Yes there are already better players in the works. Panasonic is working on 3D player.
This is how anything works, there will always be something new and better.
Blu won because of Disney in my mind, all disney movies rock in Blu!!
Sony helped by making the PS3 a blu ray player. If Microsoft would have made the xbox 360 an HD DVD player that would have help HDDVD do better but all they wanted to do was make the war last longer so they could push the Download movie crap.
