Well, thanks a lot. I have the HD-A1, and I was planning on upgrading to a better player at some point, but I didn't think it would be now (since I want to build a new computer still). However, Amazon.com lowered their price on the A35 to $359.98, when it's usually slightly over $400. With this lower price, all of the free discs, and the better hardware, I was pretty much bullied into this premature upgrade.
