It's not even a crap player. The complaints seem to focus on a lack of internal encoding for certain optional audio formats (who gives a crap? Seriously, if you want surround sound, you should be using a receiver), and lack of 2.0 support (a problem, but you get the impression Blu-ray's "Profile 2.0" was designed as a half-witted reading of HD DVD's online capabilities, online is certainly less important to Blu-ray than it was to HD DVD.)
