"Solid BD and DVD Player, no regrets" on by gparris
Pros: Excellent BD and DVD playback, easy operation, clean design, fast loading, good remote.
Cons: No Wi-Fi, but for $89, I can easliy attach Wi-Fi capablily if I really need Profile 2.0 and other online features.
Summary: I do not agree with cnet about the 3 stars in their rating, the BD35 model it replaces (which I have in another HDTV room) does everything right without exception.
Not everybody who buys a BD player even WANTS a interactivity and to give the Samsung models 3.5 and 4.0 stars instead of the Panasonic, is just wrong.
I have had several Samsung models and if cnet went by the number of unplayable Blu-ray Discs, jamming, bad playback (when they did try to play) and overall lesser quality of my previous Samsung BD players, cnet should raise the Panasonic players to at least 3.5 stars and LOWER the Samsungs to no more than 3.5 stars or less! I had two other Panasonics that replaced my previous Samsungs (the BD10's) and these were above Samsungs in playback and QUALITY, that is why I trusted cnet with the the Panasonic BD35.
I would buy the Panasonic BD60 or BD80 if I had to do it all over again and if the need ever arises that I would need Wi-Fi, I would buy the addition that you can buy aftermarket instead of any Samsung BD player.

I find it funny that CNET faulted the BD60 so much for the lack of WiFi and Netflix, but they just fell all over themselves in praising the Oppo player, which does not have WiFi and has no online features.

For the price difference between this and the wi-fi capable players you can get a Roku. Which for the record costs only a little more than a wi-fi bridge.

I agree rating samsung higher just because of the web interactivity features is wrong. This player and the BD35 are outstanding and I personally think the image quality is better then the samsung.

krh11,
Get a wireless bridge for under $100. Connect the BD60 to it and VOILA! -
I bought the Panasonic BD60 instead of a Samsung because I have a Samsung DVD player and it's crap so I don't trust their disc players. I'm not totally anti Samsung. I've had a TV which was very good and a VCR also. Their disc players have always been problematic.

I have just purchased and am interested in how to connect to Wi Fi. What is your $89 solution?

Good to know about Samsung's blu ray players, as I suspected, Samsung products are questionable, at best. I have a Sony blu ray player hooked up to a Sony HDTV in the living room and am looking at this Panasonic blu ray for the secondary player for the bedroom. Thanks for your thoughts
