Bah…The LG hybrid playser is not $1200. It’s $800 at Crutchfield. Yeah, still not cheap, but still about a third less than $1200.
Vudu is a joke, I wouldn’t curse someone in a million years with that thing.

If you hunt around enough you’ll of course be able to find these things a bit cheaper, but thanks for the update.
