Any player I buy I'd have to live with for many years(the W.A.F!). I am leaning towards either Toshiba or Samsung - the Pioneer 563a I was considering seems to get fairly negative reviews online. I am waiting for the new Toshiba universal player to hit the stores. I believe it is under $200. I don't know a lot about Samsung, but my Best Buy friend likes his Samsund DVD player. Time will tell.
