Yeah, I've been waiting a while now too, but I'm getting impatient. I just want something that will get me by for now, but that doesn't lack in quality and features too much. I looked at the Philips before, and I have definitely kept it in mind, but right now I'm looking in the < $500 range just to get something in my hands. <Checks pricegrabber, just for the hell of it> Well, actually, it looks like the DVDR985 might be the one I go with, it's sitting right around $500 according to pricegrabber.


BTW, I started this reply before you edited your post.
