To be honest, it depends on what TV you are feeding the picture to. Personally I feel the only screens that can really take advantage of the increase in picture quality are the Full HD Pioneer Plasmas. If you've spent that much on the best tv, it makes sense that you will want to feed it the best picture source possible. Even if you are lucky enough to own a 50" or 60" Kuro, you'd be smart to hold on for a couple of months until all the manufacturers update their players to meet the new BR profile. As Nads says above, they're still playing catch-up. For most of us, the premium for a Pioneer player isn't worth it. For some of us, it costs more than our tvs. The PS3 does a fine job and on most screens, you won't see much difference between it and the Pioneer.
