I can’t agree more. And with Vizio being the top rated TV I can’t imagine the player being much less. So there’s some bells and whistles missing. Like streaming Netflix, that appears to be Netflix’s problem, not Vizio.

LGT, why do you think a $99 blu ray player would be bad? If an excellent upconverting dvd player can be sold for $40, why can’t a blu-ray player be sold for $100? “you get what you pay for” is dumb. If one person pays twice as much for an item as another does not mean the expensive one is 2x better.

As for the remote, you can pick one up cheap on Amazon or use your shock 3 controller.

Power consumption? On a PS3 Slim? Dude, my electric bill went down, not up this month, and I have been on it every night.

Buy a PlayStation3,…Blu-Ray is standard, even on least expensive model.

I bought a 32″ Vizio HDTV in May for $327 at Walmart.

When you spend $99 on a media player, you get what you pay for – something close to worthless. Complete waste of money.
