I just gave in and bought a second hand player off eBay for just over £100 delivered, with 2 free films (+Blue Planet which I wanted anyway), the very same Toshiba HD-EP30 that was available new for £70 as above.
Test the player lots when you get it, the first one I had would freeze up seemingly at random. I did call Toshiba and they sent out a replacement a few days later. Oh, and the HD-EP30 runs Linux too, but Toshiba are very naughty and don't seem to provide sources or any way in to the player. Also of note the new Panasonic tele I purchased the other month has a copy of the GPL built into the firmware menus under "license agreement" as it too also runs Linux (apparently), but the download link for the source is broken. Not that I can actually see a situation that I would want to try and update firmware with a custom build on something like a television ;)
