Just an FYI, given Sammy's previous track record, I wouldn't touch any of their players with a 10 foot pole, but YMMV.
And no offense to the retailers, but some of the best deals of the season regarding players have already been had on the net, and without the long lines
IE... a sub 200$ Sony BDP-S350 player /w 4 free movies type deal.... I posted that deal a few weeks ago.
As for discs... Circuit City or Walmart look like the place to shop this season for deals on the movies themselves.
Best Buy has a number of titles at 16.99 (With a 9.99 Doorbuster of Transformers), then Walmart a bunch at 14.99, then Circuit City has a small selection at 8.99 and a large selection at like 16.99 or something like that.
