View profile »Hey spoonard... the other Engadget website - EngadgetHD.com - has comments indicating it's Profile 1.1 (w/Bonus View), and "this is the same Funai player [Magnavox branded] @ Wal-Mart for $298." Also, with Walmart's constant discounting, the price could fall down to $199 by Christmas (another comment).
Obviously BD-Live (profile 2.0) is not provided on this model, but this is only a concern if owners want to connect to the internet for some of the discs that included internet-based bonus content. Most comments I've read so far of web-based BD bonuses, indicate it's not all that great, with the option not fully exploited yet to the potential imagined by some.

Remember, HD DVD players had Internet connections from day one, and studios never really exploited its possibilities except to offer firmware downloads, a few wallpapers, and an opportunity on one of the "Potter" films to watch it with friends at different houses. Whatever happened to just watching and enjoying the movies?

The first announced Taiwanese Blu-Ray Profile 1.1 player is priced $997, thanks to Sharp supplied core component.
