Very sorry guys, been caught up with a lot of things. Anyways I just got home from a long week away, the package from EastCoastTV's did arrive on time. It was dropped off late on the 6th at the FedEx location in NJ, shipped on the 7th, and arrived on the 11th to FL. FedEx I do not believe ships on the weekends so if you order close to the end of the week expect a two day delay. Someone was home to accept the package. Last night I opened the pack and was surprised to see they did not use any sort of packing peanuts or any shock protection at all, it was pretty much the DMP-BDT100 box inside the brown box, that was it. The brown box did however fit around the player box perfectly. Anyways it wasn't the end of the world as I know that the products themselves are shock protected with foam for shipping reasons from the distributor, plus the actual box wasn't nicked and arrived in perfect condition. I opened it up, powered on the player, everything works perfectly. The specific model is the DMP-BDT100P
PROS: Arrived Quick, Cheap Price, Free Shipping, Everything Works, No Damage, Knicks, or Scratches.
CONS: No Package Padding or Protection
Overall nothing is wrong and I would definitely give the go ahead on the company. I then went on their website, printed off my invoice, cut out the UPC that has the serial number as per Panasonic's instructions and will be mailing it out today. Their are 3 UPC codes on the box, make sure you cut out the one WITH the serial, I did double check with
Panasonic's Rebate website .
Picture Album:
Opinion so far of the player (compared to SAM BD-C6900): IMO while watching "A Christmas Carroll in 3D" their was much more of a "Pop-out" effect and the quality of the 3D is better than with the Sammy. Feature wise, the Sammy definitely has this player beat in capability's. If you are a Netflix user, unlike the Sammy version of the app, you can not browse on the Panasonic and must add to your queue online. MKV is not supported unless you use the
hacked firmware for this player as this is a "Divx HD Certified" device, while as the Sammy is "Divx HD+" which does support MKV. The good news is is that since I have a Samsung TV (PN50C7000 w/8000 Tweak) I still maintain all of the features of the Blu-ray player including MKV support directly with the TV and get to use a better 3D playback engine with the Panasonic player.
In Short:
3D Playback: Panasonic
Features: Samsung
