>>>Anyone who wants both formats considering a combi player would be better off buying a Toshiba A2 or A3 and one of the entry level blu players-the Toshiba A3 can be found for $199 or less, and the word is the entry level Sharp blu player is a good performer and can be found for $299.<<<

That's alot cheaper than the dual players coming out. I've heard that both dual players coming out will (supposedly) decent, they'll be rather expensive. I have the sharp BD player, and it is very good, with DVDs, even better than my A1. $299 for it is a good price. My only complaint, is that it needs a USB stick to upgrade the FW-there's no Ethernet port.

EDIT: I have an SXRD1. While it is 1080p, it only accepts 1080i, so deinterlacing is not a factor for me.
