Hey Arlen
Are you sure the BDP-CX960 has RS232? We are a Sony dealer and nothing that we have received on the BDP-CX960 indicates that it will have RS232. The BDP-CX7000ES will absolutely have it, but even on the Sony website if you look at the pictures of the back, I don’t see it. Also, your middle picture is mislabeled it is the BDP-CX960.
@dvr321, thanks for the catches - couple of glitches in the posting process, but yes the RS232 for the ES model would be one of the big differences between the two. Fixed.
I am not a big fan of mega changers or sonys video game user interface but IMO.. this is a sweet product 
BD slow loading + Waiting for mega changer to bring BD around to the player = Nice half hour break between movies.
It’s about time.
