@swc oxcart: I don't care about the eyesore (the TV is in our basement and we don't keep the component area super-tidy anyway).

@MugsTheGreat @acidrain69: I don't want to spend the extra money for a PS3, plus it takes up more space and I would never use it for gaming. (Not a console guy.)

I need help choosing a Blu-Ray player. Right now it's between the Sony BDP-S570 3D Blu-ray Disc Player and the LG BD570 Network Blu-ray Disc Player. I don't care about 3D, but if the Sony player is superior in other ways, I don't care that I'm getting a feature (3D) that I may never use.

Now if only you could get this kind of location-finding ability when you double-clicked an app on the local machine's Apps tab (instead of the iDevice's Apps tab).
