THe team at Secrets take the first consumer available Blu-ray out for a spin with their benchmarking suite. THe player does very poor on SD material and performs decently with HD material.

Read moreThe biggest PVR news of the year has to be the TiVo series 3 release. To be honest, I still have sticker shock.
