Pretty good. Still $400 more than a HD-DVD player but hey who's counting.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Is there any need for a separate player if you have a PS3? The PS3 can now upscale and output 1080p at 24fps.

The PS3 is an excellent piece of equipment. Some people prefer stand alone players though. I will be getting one for the living room.

has anyone noticed with most advertisements for dvds on tv now that the only other option is now blue ray. I've seen several of them in the past few days and think I'm seeing a trend.

Sony now $499 plus another $20 with this code 3A706 discount so $479 is not bad at all.
