kucoloco... between April and May, probably around $699.

Sony Sapphire Blu-ray players (2 models this summer), will be between $400 to $500 MSRP. The Widescreen Review website recently listed the specs for the new Sony Sapphire players - READ HERE

I've had the Panasonic BD30 for a while now, and it has not yet failed me. Plays everything perfectly. It outputs (but does not decode) all of the higher audio codecs, and it's Profile 1.1 compliant, meaning it will play Picture-in-Picture, etc. It does not have an Ethernet connection (Profile 2.0), but I've never connected any of my HD DVD players (which have an Ethernet connection from day one) to the Internet, anyway, so for me it's not a loss.

John, doesn't that make it difficult for the FBI to monitor your viewing habits? Anyway, I admit I did disconnect my PS3 from my home network when we watched "Across the Universe" the other night ... just in case.

They've tried, and two of their agents died of boredom.

I'm with John on the Panasonic BD30. It's a fantastic player, and even though it doesn't decode all of the high-end audio I have an Onkyo to do that for me. It also boots up pretty fast compared to my Toshiba HD-A20.
