Seems like that would be your best bet for a budget blu-ray player.
This is a great price. I just logged on to Pana Direct, using my friend's login (who's worked for them for over a decade) and the employee pricing is like $10 worse, and then add tax.
For anyone outside CA (woe is 3db), this is a no-brainer at the price point, IMO.
