If you're ok with refurbished you can get even better prices from Canada Computers.

Not bad but I hope the prices of the new players come down pretty quick. I want one but I can't justify the cost, especially when the players still aren't profile 2.0.

These players will stream TrueHD and DTS HD MA to a receiver though.
