You do know that the cheaper the BR player, the worst quality it is?

Yes and no ...

Something that was learned when we switched from VHS to DVD was that the quality of the player in a digital format was not particularly important in producing an image at a quality level beyond the typical person's ability to see; or their willingness to care about. While you could probably see a slight difference between the top of the line Blu-Ray player and this $100 player on high-end TVs while playing side-by-side the typical person will not see much of a difference if they're playing a movie on their "Average" HDTV without anything to directly compare it to.

Now, I'm certain that features like faster load times are associated with the better Blu-Ray players, but for people who are looking for a Blu-Ray $100 today for something that works and $50 3 years from now for a "high-end" Blu-Ray player makes far more sense than buying a more expensive player today.
