I got mine because it was the cheapest blu-ray player out there.  I also use 
it a lot to stream music and videos from my PC wirelessly into the living 
room.  Oh and show off some POV animations on the big TV at 1920x1080 
resolution :-) And I sometimes play a couple of games on it too (the 
graphics from GT5 are awesome).

The focal blur is a bit too optimised for speed and sometimes doesn't look 
realistic, but while playing you hardly notice.  But the HDR rendering and 
tonemapping are great, and the detail of the car models both inside and out 
are staggering.

And I suspect that on a 29" TV you weren't even playing it at the highest 
resolution (I don't think (m)any 29" TVs support 1920x1080 resolution).
