if hindi matuloy ang transaction on the 15th then probably i have to keep the 300x and save for A-200. if that happens puwede ko pahiram sa iyo for several months 
hopefully tenga ko may problem 
(baka try ko din in using a different HDMI cable if this would matter) by the way ang clincher talaga is when i played Ben (25th anniversary MJ) well iba yung nadinig ko promise, good but not as good as when using Egreat. iba yung bata na yun na kumunta nung Ben excellent performance. yung volume nga have to increase na eh (full volume sa NMT and notch higher sa AVR) still iba pa din 
the PQ is not as vibrant when i was watching it using Egreat don't know if yung PJ ko problem but my PJ has less than 400hrs bulb usage.
Uy, may pag-asa pala ako. Hehehe. Your observations are really intriguing. Kasi if I find the PQ of the A200 and the 300X the same, then that implies that these new NMTs must be inferior than the Egreat in terms of pure BD performance. That's a possibility considering the hardware decoders are different chips, and the newer NMTs are quite cheaper compared to the Egreat when it was new.
In thought, such findings would suck, but since I don't have a real BD player and pretty impressed with the A200 PQ and AQ as is, then I guess I would just be fine in the end...and I'd just stay away from real BD players and BD discs so I wouldn't know the difference with NMTs...Hahaha. Honestly, I can easily see differences in PQ between high bitrate 1080p MKVs and those pure BD rips especially in terms of richness of color, but my AVR is old hence I have no means of hearing HD audio.
In any case, Im still hopeful that the A200 would perform better than the 300X for now with it's more matured FW and the Sigma Chip, and hopefully too, the performance of the 300X can still be improved with better firmware (assuming it is not yet optimized). Right now, it's kinda dreadful to think that all new media players would be the same considering your not so positive impressions.
