Thanks for the reply Stu, Yeah, it's the "almost everything" that is the issue. So far the only one that I found that seems to have everything is the Sony blu-ray player. And for the price (~$130), i'm going to get it and test it out.

I just bought a new combo blu-ray player and LED TV from Visio. Both come with a bunch of applets that cover almost everything on your list. I subbed To VuDu, Hulu+, already am on Amazon Prime, it offers Netflix but also Blockbuster Streaming. Basically had it all for less than 1,000 and the player itself is about $100, Works like a charm. Happy Friday !

Currently I'm using Samsung Blue-Ray players as my streaming media devices. Love them, but they are lacking a few media services that I would like: Amazon VOD Crackle I am able to do Amazon VOD with the Yahoo! App as a widget on my newer Samsung LED. But there is still no Crackle app. So I was looking at alternatives that would give me everything I want in one device. Here is the wish list: NetFlix Amazon Prime VuDu Crackle HuLu+ Blue-Ray player DLNA Wi-Fi built in As you can see my primary interest is in the streaming media services (NetFllix, VuDu, etc....). From everything that I've seen the Sony BDP-S580 will do all of this. Anyone else have a recommendation for a single device? I know I can add a device to my setup such as a Roku box that will give me the content I'm lacking, but I'd like to have a single device and not add an additional piece of hardware to my current setup.
