Pioneer BDP-51FD

[jasab2]

Is the Pioneer BDP-51FD a good buy for $200.

I am in the market for new big screen and Ultimate Electronics
has this unit on sale. While looking at the tvs, the salesman tells
me about this "screaming" deal on the BDP-51FD. He says it's last
years model and has as good a br picture as can be had for that
price. I understand some features are not available either, but
I am more interested in picture quality than features.

I am zeroing in on a Samsung 63" plasma and was wondering
if anyone had any thoughts on this br player.

Thanks in advance.....
