Amazon finally has the Panasonic DMP-BD60 (aka DMP-BD60K) available online for immediate shipping. If its performance is anything like the BD80 we have in for review right now (and it should be), then this will be the budget player to beat this year. The BD-60 has Panasonic's VIERA Cast feature on-board for instant access to YouTube, Picasa and other online content.

Its big brother the BD80 is not yet available. It adds 5.1/7/1-channel analog output, DivX playback from CD, DVD or USB drive, and "High Clarity Audio" which turns off the analog video processing and output if you're not using it but it lists for an additional $100, so the BD60 should end up being an extremely popular player...
