You realise Toshiba heavily subsidized its players right? Now you're complaining that BD players are managing to reach the same price without that advantage. Some HD DVD crybabies are never happy.
As for internet connectivity... big deal. Buy a PS3 if you must have it, or a Samsung BDP1500, or hang on for several other models appearing shortly. I'm sure it will be as compelling a feature as it was in HD DVD, i.e. not at all. Of course profile 2.0 mandates 1Gb storage instead of the pathetic 128Mb in HD DVD, so maybe some day we'll see a studio produce an online experience actually worth visiting. .
