WalMart up the street has 2 BR players for about 230$+tax. Low end stuff, but serviceable.
Personally, I won't jump in until this settles out more. While I was the first kid on the block to own a CD player...I still have my original Philips/Magnevox FD1000, BR is simply too much and not stable.
The Cheap players are.....cheap....and you still are into it for 400$ for a new / top player.
The solution may be to wait for OPPO. My 981 is perfect.
At that point, I go with NetFlix so I won't own many BR disks.
THAN to top it off, I'll need a BR drive for my confuser and the appropriate software.
