Comments about Yamaha BD-S473BL Blu-ray 3D Player (Black):
I purchased this player to be used with a Toshiba 3D LED HDTV. So far, I am very happy with the purchase. The 3D playback is excellent (especially with IMAX 3D DVDs) and the up conversion is really fast.The "zoom" feature on the remote is really nice.
I think the load time is about normal for a single blu-ray player like this one. I would definitely recommend this player to anyone looking for a really good single disc blu-ray player for under $250 bucks. Can't wait for Yamaha to start making 3D LED HDTVs.

Comments about Yamaha BD-S473BL Blu-ray 3D Player (Black):
This guy does what I needed it to do. I went with Yamaha to match my existing RX-A3000 receiver. It isn't the exact "Aventage" line, but still looks quite nice in the rack next to the receiver.
It is missing some of the high-end stuff, such as remote/trigger in/out, analog multichannel, etc... also, the display isn't terribly informative.
Good news though, is that it's a great deal for the money. Load time is extremely quick, the network jack works fine for Netflix, and the interface is quite slick. Even the remote feels good. Firmware upgrade is not terribly intuitive; the built-in auto updater complains about not finding connection to a server, and I can't find any firmware on the yamaha site to download, so I'm stuck with the factory for now. No big deal.
If I had the money (and the other components to really take advantage of it), I'd go for the Adventage model, but on a budget, I have no regrets. Would suggest to a friend.
