Nice deal, only problem is that neither of those two devices can bitstream HD Sound. Blu Ray Player wise I wouldn't really recommend Sony. Better you go with Samsung or Panasonic.

Or you could get the new Sony BDP-S350 which will bitstream all of the HD formats and has a list price of $399.

I wonder why some people are caught up with bitstreaming.  Decoding internally is the same thing.  The only difference would be that it is a little louder via bitstreaming.  The exact same information is decoded...bit for bit.

BTW, I think the BD starter set has decent titles.

Well to be honest I am pretty happy when my receiver displays "DTS HD Master 5.1" and not just "Multichannel". Aside from that I also heard that there really is not a lot of difference
