So I waited, and today I got the Panasonic DMP-BD60 at Costco for $125. Got it home and hooked it up via HDMI cable to my 720p Sony LCD TV. Stuck in JB at Ronnie Scotts and got blown away! Not only by JB and co., but by the clarity of the video and audio. I was very impressed and glad I got it. Thanks, JB, for the great advice, as I was also eyeing a Sony Blue-Ray which had the capability to "talk" with my Sony TV. Big deal. Panasonic in a walk for those on a budget.
