OK. Time to get a Blu-ray player. But which one - Sharp or Sony?

The Warner announcement would seem to be the death blow for HD-DVD. Too bad, because I don't think there's any BD player out that can compete with my Toshiba HD-XA2 for its combination of picture and sound quality, reliability, and ease of use. I have not needed to do any updates to it and it has played every disc I have thrown into it perfectly. Of course it can't play Blu-ray discs, which now appears to be a major problem.

I want to buy a Blu-ray player, preferably today. Best Buy has a 10 disc free offer (5 by mail and 5 instantly in store) that ends today. They have a Sharp BDHP20U for $399.99 or the new Sony BDP-S500 for $699.99. Anyone have experience with these?

Thanks in advance for any (useful) thoughts.
