Nice! Looks like a pretty well-rounded player.

So MSRP is $449, should be in stores at $349 maybe?

I wonder if this is just a badged player like their HD DVD player or if they developed one this time around.

Sweet display, right out of a VCR...

No multi-channel analog outputs? No built-in BD-Live memory? No built-in wireless? I expect built-in BD-Live memory and wireless will be standard issue in BD players fairly shortly?

Not enough Flash memory for PIP, what the fuck?! That's ridiculous they expect you to pay. Flash costs nothing for a gig. I mean seriously, this is just absurd.
That being said are there other BR players besides early PS3's that would let you watch AVC HD content from an SDHC card?

Although built-in wireless is not a deal breaker, I agree with the memory and analog output deficiency. Perhaps if this was priced closer to $249.

They screwed up that posting, 1GB flash is not required for Bonusview (PiP). It's required for BD-Live, so this player is profile 1.1 out of the box, but you need flash memory to get internet SFs.

Based on their complete lack of service I encountered with a previous product, I wouldn't buy it from them if it were $99

You only find out how good a company is when you have a problem.

Prepare yourself for disappointment and runarounds if you do.
