It might be a hit if it was $150, but it is currently $230, and you can have the Samsung BD-P1500 for a mere $20 more (this was in-store Best Buy prices as of yesterday).
Actually I just got another BD1500 at Best Buy 2 days ago and I got it with price matching at $178 and it's by far better then this player. DTS-MA and full set of audio decoding, bitstream passthrough and beautiful picture that easily bests PS3 not to mention BD-Live.

This player is definitely not a good buy.
