Me too dude. Walmart has a Magnavox for $129 on Black Friday.  Rubbish player I'm sure but it should tide me over until the good ones come down in price.  Then Netflix will deliver to me HD content in the form of discs and streams.

Tease.

This is major win. How come M$ sucked at marketing like 4 years ago and now they are gods gift to advertising?
