thanks bud, just in time! i am also currently looking a replacement for my ps3 so from now on it will only be use as gaming purposes. and i'm on tight budget so i might consider this cheapo player. has anyone have any experiences with this brand? please do share.
my friend has a memorex 2510. as a bd player, he said it's not great (fox discs are a major headache!). as a usb passthrough, so far so good it plays sd avi files no problem, and 720p hd files from the usb port and discs.
