Comments about Panasonic DMP-BD55:

Showing movies outdoors is important for my work. The question is why have a Blue Ray player alone, when something like a PS3 for around the same price also plays games? Less resale value, less versatility, I just don't see it.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Panasonic DMP-BD55:

Very nice machine and works very well! My family wanted something that was going to work well and be able to accommodate a family of 8 and all our different tastes. We were very impressed with the sleek new design and it seems to work very well. It fits well in the room and doesn’t take up that much space at all. A bit high in price but its well worth it!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
