I'm almost to the point to buy into Blu but I would like to buy a player (non PS3) that is cheap enough and is BD Live.....What do I buy?
I agree with Ilya. BD35 and 55 are extremely great products and have full decoding plus bitstream capabilities to go with 2.0. Panasonic's support for their products is second to none.

Do you have a receiver capable of extracting audio from HDMI?
If so, I would recommend Panasonic DMP-BD35 ($299 MSRP)
If you need analog audio outs, for $100 more you can get DMP-BD55.
Both are very good and have all the latest BD features. See this thread:

If you can wait till Thanksgiving, there's a rumor that Sears will have a "Sony Blu-ray player for $179.99" during their Black Friday sale. The model that the link sends you to is the BDP-S350.
