I've decided to sit on the sidelines because the BD movie selection is limited and the prices are high. Plus I already have a ton of DVDs and they look pretty good played on an Oppo. BD would be better, but would, for example, Casablanca and Spinal Tap really be that much better on BD?

YMMV.

unless there is a feature of the 550 that you want that is not on the 350, you don't need the 550. - Steve Trac, Sec 303 2008-11-12 14:30:38 (15 views)
