Well, I ended up going with this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00752R4PK/

I don't usually do the whole "warranty" thing, but I figured this is probably one time I should. Looks like BD players are either less than $100, or more than $500, and not really much inbetween...at least on Amazon with "four stars or higher" selected. Hopefully I don't end up getting what I paid for =|

Yay, Panasonic!

Interestingly, all of my gear is made by Panasonic:

LD: Panasonic LX-900U

VHS: Panasonic AG-1980P

DVD: Panasonic DMR-ES10

Weird. o.O
