B/Ray players, do they all boot up slow?

We have a Sony Blue Ray player that takes a really long time to start/boot up. I think an old IBM XT would boot up faster. It is really annoying to my wife, ok me too...
Do they all take quite a while? I do not know the model off hand, it is one we purchased from Costco when we purchased our LCD TV. I could probably talk her into a new model as long as the start up was considerably reduced.
Maybe Oppo BDP83 or 83SE.
Thanks, John

Buy an Oppo. It'll boot up faster than greased lightening

It really is a great unit

The Oppo does boot up "faster than greased lightning." It is quicker to boot up a BD or SDVD than any Standard DVD player I ever had, including Sony DVP 900s and Denon 856s.
Buy the Oppo. You won't regret it.

The Oppo boots VERY quickly, less than 15-20 seconds, max. Nothing else on the market is even close, no kidding. The picture quality is stunning, especially on regular DVDs. I know it has given new life to my old collection. And the fact that it plays audio so well is just icing on the cake.

Get the Oppo, you will NOT regret it.

Ditto on the Oppo! I love mine. If you are into two channel audio as well check out the Special Edition version.
