$17 price drop. Amazon has the Samsung BD-D5500 3D Wi-Fi Ready Blu-ray Player for $70 with free shipping. Upconverts 2D Blu-ray movies to 3D and has access to Samsung apps and other online content.
Wifi-ready = sucker. Not sure why this is a "Ben's Best". You can get wifi-equipped players for not much more. I have the C5500, and I'm guessing the D is not all that improved (I run it on wired ethernet). Its slow to load disks, and slow to pretty much load any of its utilities. The UI isn't very configurable (g the quick links to your favorite apps, like Netflix or Pandora, are hard-set in the UI and you have to dive through the cumbersome menus to get to other choices). I've read reports of firmware upgrades causing serious problems, though I have not personally had a problem with them yet. This was a good choice 1-2 years ago.
