Just out of curiosity how are the various blu-ray players with playing rentals which have a tendency to be scratched, scuffed, ect. The reason why I ask is that even though my A3 HD-DVD player was a champ at playing the discs that I purchased, I don't think any of the 8-9 titles that I have rented from netflix have ever played all the way through without some kind of playback issue. Some of them were pretty scratched up but others seemed to have precious little more than average wear and tear on them and would still freeze, ect. despite my best efforts to clean them. I also did update to the latest firmware so that shouldn't have been an issue. The point is that I am curious if anyone here has a blu-ray player and if they do rent Blu-Ray discs from netflix and if so what kind of results they are getting. I understand that by nature both formats will be more sensitive to imperfections on the disc, but the fact that I haven't been able to play any of the rentals without some sort of glitch occuring in the playback makes me wary of both formats since rentals IMHO are crucial. So just curious as to what people's experiences were and if they could list what player they had and version (1.0, 1.1 or 2.0) and firmware just so I can get a better idea of what to expect in the future.
