Is this a good deal for a Blu-Ray player?

Fred Meyer (Pacific NW version of Kroger) has a Sony Blu-Ray DVD Player (model BDPS300) on sale for $350. They also have a coupon in their Sunday insert for an extra 15% off all DVD players, which would bring the Sony BR under $300. I did a BizRate search, and the price range seems to be $350 - $415, so price-wise I think it's good, but I'm wondering if that's the best I can do for less than $300.

Comments?

Thanks in advance!

the coupon may not work. they may say that technically it is a Blu-ray player, NOT a dvd player.

That's about the best right now. I think it's been down that low before, but not in recent weeks.

Let 'em try to argue... it specifically says in their ad "Sony Blu-Ray DVD Player."

It is a decent player, but the load times are about the worst that I have seen.
