Now, with more information, I'm kind of disappointed

The two new models are not quite what I woud call perfection. The A2 while having a faster load time, and better remote, is a step down from the A1.Its pretty much the same thing, in a smaller package without the analog outs for audio. The XA2 has the same BS 1080p that the Samsung BD player has, going from 1080p->1080i->1080p.
They both look lke DVd players,and probably aren't built as well as G1 machines. The sdame gripes apply to the European versions too.
I'm underwhelmed.
OTOH, the Panasonic Blu-ray plyer will be coming out in limited quantities for $1300, and the Pioneer and Sonys are delayed untill 2007.
