No HDMI on that drive and no price would concern me greatly.
In the past I've heard many people compare Blu-Ray to Betamax, well in my opinion the comparison should be HD-DVD to Betamax. Betamax was a better quality product that failed due to VHS dominating in titles and harware. The Blu-Ray onslaught is coming and with more hardware and more studio support there is no way HD-DVD will win this format war. By first quarter 2007 there may be an estimated 3 - 5 million Blu-Ray players in homes, compared to what? an optomistic 50,000???? I feel all the movie studios will see the light at that point and support Blu-Ray.
