It seems that each time I press stop to go to the bathroom and when I press play again, the disc goes from the beginning. Or when I have to leave home and switch off the player entirely ,the next time I switch it on ,I have to play the disc from the beginning.

Not much to report ,apart that they still keep keeping on ,quietly doing their relentless job of cleaning up the sound stage for my and my friends humble systems.. No bad reports from friends that I know of anyway, they still must be all functioning . As my pointed eared friend says...

I've noticed the prices of players dipping slightly, but the prices of the media are still a $10 premium over DVD here in the states. I hope this changes EXTREMELY fast because Star Trek and Terminator 4 are coming out in 2 months. It would be a shame to buy those movies on DVD, but I will not be paying that premium. I can easily justify the $300 cost of a BD player, especially with today's networking and media sharing capabilities.

MOTHER OF GOD!!! That's the price of a really nice Blu-ray player! I guess the old saying still holds true... "A fool and his money, will soon be parted." I bought PureAV silver series cables online and got them for less than a 3rd of retail. I think I paid about $30-40 for an 8 footer. They are excellent quality, with all the build bells and whistles. I highly recommend them and recently saw some on eBay for $17 for an 8 footer.
