Score 9.0/10+ good design and only blu ray player profile 1.1 on the market, if you dont want a games console.
- Its the little things that also matter. I mean, you buy a top of the range blu ray player with great picture and sound, you might expect the player to have a memory for the dvd's you watch and stop in the middle,watching something else then returning to the other dvd only to have to search where you were up to.

Tony, Blackpool , “Big AV fan”
Score 9.0/10+ Loads discs in almost the same time as a normal dvd player; much quicker than my Toshiba HD DVD player
- The blue light at the top of the machine in the middle is a bit of a distraction and, in my opinion, a little unnecessary; it is very bright. Apart from that, it's ace !!

Expert reviews for Panasonic DMP-BD30
TechRadar expert review
Perhaps one of the biggest surprises about Blu-ray beating HD DVD in the format war was that it came to the market unÔ¨Ånished. While every HD DVD deck that Toshiba released was able to maximise the interactive potential of the format, Blu-ray took longer to get its act together. The Ô¨Årst ProÔ¨Åle 1.1 player in the UK, the BD30 Ô¨Ånally allowed users to enjoy the picture-in-picture Bonus View content found on discs.Mighty specBut that wasn't its only party trick: it boasted an SD card slot for displaying JPEGs and play back of AVCHD hi-def camcorder footage; HDMI system control with …
