My main argument for re-purchase (besides the fact that it plays Blu Ray) is that the BDP 3000 offers a good upscaler, so that my old DVDs or DivX - leave files really enjoy on a new LCD. My old, cheaper DVD - Player () had a bad upscaler and old DVDs saw on my LCD really does not look good. Thanks to new firmware can now finally the USB - Slot for playback of media content use.
Furthermore, the BDP will play 3000 VCD and SVCD, which I was also very important. He also mastered the file format WMV, but unfortunately no asf (so far I have not found a player that ASF - could play a file).
Even with burned Blu Ray (the burner is a PX-B940SA, blanks were Mediarange and Verbatim) had the player no problem. And that was before the firmware update like this. Mikroruckler I could not watch.
Of course there's at the low price a few small details that bother me. For example, the player at the start a little noisy, but after that for me inaudible. The start could be a little faster. He also has no optical audio output, coaxial only!
Prior to the firmware update I could Blu Ray only pause briefly, then the player went into the "Stop" - mode and could not remember the location, so I had to manually hinspulen. In 1080p / 24Hz on my Full HD LCD sat the picture from time to time from a short time. That was at two players with two televisions (Toshiba and LG - LCD) monitor. For example, during the Watchmen effect was observed twice. After the firmware update these errors were corrected.
Overall, I am very satisfied, full purchase recommendation!
