With the BDP-320 Pioneer really has set a high standard, which bodes well for the other players in its range

Price: $399 At A Glance: Pioneer’s first BD-Live player • Exceptional video processing • Slow boot-up and disc loading, especially on Java-intensive discs With a long history in optical disc technology, Pioneer has been slow to develop new and innovative features in its Blu-ray players. While its previous offerings have been on the upper end of the pricing range, the company’s players have left a lot to be desired.

This well-designed model delivers consistently pleasing images, and did well on DVD upconversion, but it lacks the streaming capabilities found on many competing models.
