Deal. A brand name BD below $200. Although its doesn't get teh reviews of Panny or Sony players, or even Samsung, who's bottom model gets some pretty bad reviews, but I did a firmware update and have had no issues with it. I suspect many bad reviews come from people who expect a plug and play experience and know little about CE.

Sign up for the Sony card, get $100 credit off the bat, get a BD and game system. And I heard the PS3 is one of the best blu-rays out there.

No thanks -- I plan to use my wdtv instead.

sign up sony card, spend $400+ at sonystyle.com & get $100.
In the next 6 month spend $3K on the card & get $200.
PS3 Cost
$399 + Sony Card - $100 + $3K expense - $200 = $100

waiting for these to support DIVx (i know there are a few out there now..but not at this price range)
