While I welcome any price advantage I can get on a BluRay player, I hope we don't end up in the situation we are in with DVD players where one can't seem to find a $200 player that may ACTUALLY still work in two years... I can buy a $49 player but everyone I've bought for the past number of years starts skipping or just fails to play discs anymore probably about 3 weeks after the warranty is up.
