I cant see them not delivering on the vault part of this system.

True but then you would not have to spend the extra money on the vault for better functionality so no one would be upset with that. My point is I think K got over the big hurdles to make a legal server with their current setup. The only hurdle they have to address is the in the drawer issue which the vault would do.

That would certainly be a help going forward, but unless the content owner's offer some sort of BR exchange program it would not work for my current collection (800+ BR), none of which has the proper coding on the disc to allow for MC. (This assumes that is in fact how MC will work if it is ever released.) In my case, and I suspect others as well, the disc loader/vault would solve that problem.

I dont think we will ever see MC for BR. So I congratulate K for getting something out.

One of my players has a bum drive and has worked like crap for ages, so I ended up getting a BR player as a replacement (with the upgrade credit). I've stuck planet earth in there and the quality and start up time seems pretty good.

Since that's one of the few blu's I own at the moment (and will actually rewatch), it'll just sit in the drive unless I need it for an import.

I just got my first 2 M-Class players. I will likely get a couple M-class miniplayers in the near future. I haven't even hooked my new players up yet - just put them in the den to finish loading the last of my unloaded films to the server.

Looking forward to your impressions of the GUI and BR.

The GUI is pretty slick. My projector in the theater is still 720p (a 3-chip DLP) so I am not getting the full effect of the higher resolution but I already am impressed.

I will check out the BluRay soon. Have to get a few titles loaded and mine seem to take a lot longer than 1 hour and change each but I am loading multiple titles at once. I will have to check and make sure I don't have some part of my network choking the speed down to 100MBit somewhere. I thought I was full GigE in my house but I might have an old switch somewhere at 100MBit or something. It took over 2 hours for each disc from Firefly.

Yup, sounds like network. The longest BR I loaded was 1 hour 9 minutes.
