Yeah I hear you on the 3rd gen. models, I was originally going to get an A35 but then I found out that it didn't look too good in 1080p/60. Since my TV is 1080p/60 I needed a player that was stellar for it. So my only real option was to get another XA2. But finding any now is extremely difficult. And the few that are available new are outrageously expensive. I got lucky and found one on Amazon Marketplace from a reputable seller for $350.

I'm receiving it on Monday, and hopefully it's a sound unit that works fine. If it is, then I should be set for a while.

So if anyone can get a nice cheap XA2 player for me that would be great
I'll keep my eyes open for you. Hopefully someone somewhere is selling one for a decent price that will ship your way. Right now the XA2 seems to be the hot ticket and people are buying them up quickly. It's going to be a hard find, but not impossible.
