Read through a thread over at AVS and I am pretty sure I will get this player.
Downside is no ethernet/profile 2.0... I really don't see myself using that feature anyway. I would like an ethernet for potential firmware upgrades though.
It bitstreams all of the HD audio formats for my denon3808 to decode via hdmi, so that is great. If you don't have an hdmi receiver that decodes these formats then your out of luck, because the player won't do it.
I just have to decide between this and the PS3... I don't need all the streaming/networking features of the PS3 because my xbox 360, xbox media center, and denon 3808 handle that just fine. I am not sure if there are enough good games on the PS3 that justify the extra cash.
