Anyone Have the Samsung BD-P2500 or LG BD300

They play Blu Ray and you can stream netflix.
I was thinking of getting the Roku (or building a HTPC) but I need a Blu Ray player too.
BDP2500

LG BD300

The Samsung has the Reon so upconverted DVDs should look better than the LG if that matters to you. In theory it should also upconvert SD Netflix better too, but I don't know.

edit: If the LG BD300 has the QDEO video processor like the LG BH200 then the difference between the two will be less dramatic. Still the Reon has the edge.

I have the Samsung BD-P2550, which is a Best Buy-only model that is just like the BD-P2500 but adds Pandora streaming. I have basically been entirely pleased with it. The upscaling really is excellent, and blu-ray looks and sounds great (I run a Denon AVR-3808ci receiver which decodes the newest HD audio codecs). It boots faster than my old, non-BD Sony upscaling DVD player. Nothing really to fault with it.
