Products that bear the DivX Certified logo have undergone a rigorous testing program to ensure a high quality DivX media experience that includes reliable video playback, excellent visual quality, and interoperability with other DivX Certified digital devices. The DivX logo has become a powerful symbol for a high-quality digital video experience across any device.

I bought my boyfriend a PS3 for his birthday with the intention of being able to watch blu-ray films on it.
I've seen a few including the new rambo but they didn't really captivate me and I didn't find the quality that great.
As his PS3 is used 90% of the time for games I'm looking to buy a stand alone Blu-Ray DVD for my sitting room.
I would also like to buy one for my nail boutique to play films whilst my clients are having treatments.
Just read through your article and wondering if anyone can recommend Panasonic. Would the quality be better than a PS3?
Any advice much apprecited.
Best Regards,
Pippa
Pippa, you won't be disappointed with this...It will show Blu-ray off to the maxx.
The Bitsream audio is superb. Make sure your screen is 1080p though.
