With BD players dropping quickly in price, you may not have to wait long. You can already buy a low-end one...
Folks, we "sprung" for a Blu-ray player last week! We purchased the Panasonic DMP-BD60 from Best Buy. Got the player and 2 movies for $150 with tax. What led me to this player was that it can "upconvert" regular DVD's. The BR movies looked fantastic! To my surprise the movies played in 1080i on my 720p Dynex via HDMI. I'm very satisfied with this purchase and am already planning to ask my son if I can "borrow" his Blockbuster card!
The only think lacking is a surround sound system. I'm presently playing audio thru the TV speakers and supplement that with a subwoofer & 2 speakers (old PC speaker setup I had in the garage) connected to the TV audio outputs. Poor-mans "2.1" I guess.. .
Dan, it was worth the wait! Thanks for the advice.. . :-)
