This should have been included in the 2006 Home Entertainment Device of the Year awards. I can't believe engadget hasn't covered this player since it was delayed because of firmare issues. Since it wasn't I voted for the sony.
The reason I would have voted for this is because it is basically the Sony bluray plus the home media gallery (depending on what u read pioneer either build the Sony or gave them major help). This feature can stream music, photos, and video from any xp box running WMP 11 that is on your network. It has it's own ethernet port. Furthmore all this comes out the HDMI port. And it playse Bluray in native 1080p24.
This blows away any of the products on that list, and should be a write in. Don't get me wrong it's not perfect and the next gens will probably stomp on it, but for now I'd love to put one in my av rack. Pioneer also contiues to update there firmware with ver 2.1 coming just being released 4.3.07.
There's more to PC games than computer towers and input devices... Enter the CM Storm Sirus, the outfit's first foray into the world of gaming headsets.
