www.fye.com has it for $69.99. You can use coupon code WELCOMECCTEN or WELCOMEMPTEN to get 10% off with free shipping. This will bring the price down to $62.99 plus tax. Then there is a $10 mail-in rebate available which would make the total cost to be around $53-$56, depending on your state tax.

You can now pick up a Samsung 1400 BR player for $350. Both Crutchfield and One Call have it at this price and they are very trustworthy e-tailers. They both quite often have coupons as well.

^Only if you have, or plan to purchase, a new HDMI 1.3 receiver with TrueHD and DTS-HD-MA decoding ability. The Panny BD30 does not have on-board decoding ability for those new lossless audio formats. For older receivers it extracts and outputs the DD or DTS core.

I have had 2 of their rear projection DLPs (still have a 71 in version and sold my other to my brother-in-law) and they are SPECTACULAR. Personally, I do not think there is a better company for DLP sets. I also recently bought a 40 in LCD for my living room and its great too so far.
Ive owned MANY Samsung products in the past (fridge, tvs, monitor, cell phone and dvd players). The only ones that were crap were their upconverting dvd players (when they were first released).

Of course I still have it under warranty just in case.

I just read on another board that Wal*Mart has a misprice on the Prison Break Season 1 Blu-Ray. It seems to be ringing up for $29.86 at many locations, so it's probably chain-wide. I'm going to check tomorrow and will report my findings.

Yesterday I saw the Sony BDP-S301 Blu-ray Disc player selling for about $378 at Sam's Club. I believe that the 301 is the Sam's Club/Costco version of the BDP-S300. These are older Profile 1.1 players, of course.
I had expected that Profile 1.1 players would arrive soon after October 31. But, save for the Panasonic BD30, it appears that BD player manufacturers are clearing out stock of the old Profile 1.0 machines this holiday season. I guess that we will have to wait until next year to get more 1.1 players released.

There's a 20% off sale over at moretonbayblu-ray.com with the prices reflecting the reduction. It looks like most prices are better than Amazon's 10% HDM discount for those of you that have that. I've never ordered from this place before, so I'm hoping somebody else has something to say about how reliable they are.
