There are really no huge differences in specifications between the two. There are little ones you probably will never notice. The thing you might want to look at right now is what movies are available for which. Another option, although more expensive, would be to buy a combo player. It’s been a little while since I sold for Best Buy, but we had an LG Combo player for about $700. Both platforms are selling pretty well right now, at least from my experience, so I would be inclined to believe we mights not have a clear winner until 2009 or 2010 but who knows.
