Okay, I've been looking at the current line-up of Blu-Ray players, and there's something that is really weird, having come from the HD-DVD world. I own an A-35, which was Toshiba's 3rd generation top-of-the-line player. I nabbed it at Fry's for $120 after the meltdown was announced. Then I took back the A3 I had gotten from Costco for $175.
