mate,
If your dead set on upgrading to BluRay Standalone player I would wait.
I made the same mistake with my DVD player when it first come out. It lacks alot of stuff, like vcd svcd play back, but the worst part it only plays single layer dvd discs.
It cost me about $800
my new dvd player was like $100 and it does 5x the things my first original player does.
