Vizio VBR100

[connect42]

I hope this hasn't been discussed already, if so I apologize. I didn't see a thread on this. I am curious to see if anybody has any info on the Vizio VBR100. The Blu-ray player is supposed to be out next month for under $200. I have my set-up, but I am looking for a friend. This might fit his budget without being a pain-in-the-butt player - like a Magnavox. Does anybody have any new info on the player - like a specific release date? Who might carry it?

Thanks,

Brian
