Still better off buying a 40gb ps3. Even though its a little bit more, the sharp only supports BD profile 1.1. At least you get a video game system as well.

A little more? A little more would be $20 or $30, not $240!! PS3 is almost triple the price. If you consider that a little more, what are you doing participating in FW?

Just a word of caution...The predecessor to this player, the BD-HP20U, had horrible reviews and many, many reports of incompatibility with newer BR movies plus very slow load times. If you look at the reviews on the Dell site, there are some of the same comments regarding this newer player so some of those issues may not have been resolved. It doesn't seem like Sharp is having very good luck with BR, unfortunately.

Amazon reviews also report many issues with this player. This is a good price but I'm not sure whether this is a good player.

i love reading the deals just for the comments, the items pale in comparison.

Well there are always those Sony credit card deals or you can usually get 15% off at Dell.

Even though its a little bit more, you have a range of 3000 nautical miles, and you don't have to endure those security lines!
Seems like a lot of Blu Ray players getting cheaper nowadays... Is something new coming on the horizon or are there so many no good players out there that they keep getting returned
Thanks OP. I personally don't care if it doesn't support BD profile 2.0. After EPP and/or DPA this is a very good price for an above average player. I can live with the 45s-2min BD load time.
I would think the new model Panasonic DMP-BD60 at Amazon for $200 would be a much better choice for a $50-$60 more , w/free ship/no tax for most . LINKY
The Panasonic DMP-BD60 is the successor to the renowned DMP-BD35 and includes : Profile 2.0 support onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio Essential
More pathetic ratings (1) than Good (5). 29 to 27. Even those with 5 and 4 says 'some issues'!!!
Would not prefer a single issue while watching movie. Fun Ends right there. So NOT for me.
Then Blu-Ray is not your friend.
Seriously, its mindboggling how someone could release a technology with so many incompatibilities and incomplete "features" these days. I have a profile 2.0 player and it still acts all wonky sometimes.

Still more than 2X the price and you can't count the credit card deal b/c it's a once in a lifetime deal and your credit rating takes a hit when you open a new account so you might pay a lot more in increased interest rates.

I could bake cookies in my media center closet when playing a Blu-ray movie on my PS3 - it makes it that hot.
Deals like this make me consider selling the PS3 and getting something that doesn't generate as much heat.
