I have to agree. Given the ridiculous price of even some very powerful dual core processors now and the bulk buying power of a manufacturer such as Humax, there really is no excuse for manufacturers to be putting PII 300mhz processors and the like in electronic equipment when for a cost of £2 or £3 extra they be putting something like Athlon 64 X2 processors in the 3 GHZ + range.
The most annoying thing about my Blu Ray player at home is the length of time it takes to process everything when my friends PS3 just spins up Blu Ray like lightening. Would I really have not bought it because it cost £302 instead of £299 but was 10 times as fast at reading disks?





Standby with a timeout that I could set to e.g. 6 or 8 hours would suit me.
