I found a local store that had one in stock, for the lowest price I've seen, so I just picked it up. Coincidentally, I got back from the store with it to find an email from the Sony repair center. It seems that there are so many problems with the Sony model I have that parts are on indefinite backorder. My choice is to wait 2-3 months (yes, months) for the part to come in, or accept a refurb as an exchange.
Thanks for letting me know about the quirk.

Me too. This is one of several reasons why I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money on a Blu-ray player right now. I look at my Netflix queue, and there are very few Blu-ray discs in it. It's not for lack of looking on my part; but unlike some people I'm not going to watch a movie that doesn't interest me just because it's on Blu-ray.
