Planning on getting one. It says on their pdf that it plays mkvs. Not sure if it's the standard that we use here in bbt.

Well if you want your softsubs then it's not going to be very useful.

players arent meant to play those kinds of files, but sure they support them to some degree, although with a solid exception of 10bit MKVs.

PS: if you want a player that plays everything then get a HTPC, costs you not much more than 500$ for a fully featured one (BD drive, sound card, etc.)

edit: concerning HTPC looks, theres these:

If you want an htpc hands down get the Acer Revo RL70 with xbmc12 running windows if you want HD audio if you dont care about dts-hd and such run openelc on it.
