This setup is already out an available at amazon for $1600 after rebate.
You need to remember that this DVD player does not upscale to HD like the other Sony 400 DVD Megachanger (DVP CX-995).
Also, you need to keep in mind that you are purchasing a MS Media Center PC.
Originally when I first saw this this week I was pretty excited but I checked into it further and saw the shortcoming.
If you don't have a DVD MegaChanger and are looking for a Centralized Digital Media organizer, are not interested in the upconversion to HD (and can swing the cash of course) this would be a solid pick for you.
