I hope they do better with blue laser than they have done with red, because my (admittedly) inexpensive Sanyo DVD-7201 player has caused me various shades of grief over the last couple of years when playing back self-recorded media. (mp3 data discs, and VideoCds).

The Sanyo randomly skipped all over the place. Glitches, while not a major headache, appeared just about everywhere. I know the vcds *themselves* were just fine (Hey! I followed an exemplary how-to tutorial right here @ AfterDawn; why *wouldn't* my vcds be superb?) :-)

After getting A Sony DVP-NS315 a few days ago, *all* the glitches/skips have vanished. Playback is now rock solid. Sony has *finally* come of age with it's ability to handle self-recorded discs. (Princo media no longer required).

Oops.... (off-topic) :) Yes, I wish Sanyo better luck with it's blue than it's had with it's red.
