Many others of us just use the PS3's built-in WiFi support for that.

I have a digital cable modem to hook up to. Am I missing something?

A BD-player. That's all.

Well, where's your cable modem located? Does it have an extra network port for a player? I assume you already have your computer connected to it (unless you're using a router in between like I mentioned or simply do not use it for your computer?).

The modem is located about 5 feet below my set-top box/DVR. I have a separate modem for the computer.

Re: Noob question: help

I appreciate everyone's help. I love the new player. I haven't used Viera cast yet but the picture and audio quality of my SD movies is better than my Oppo. I can't wait to see a BD release. I'm getting The Dark Knight from Netflix.

Other recommendations?

Congrats on your purchase. Try this relatively recent thread for lots of good recommendations:

The Dark Knight is actually somewhat spotty in terms of PQ due to some overprocessing of the non-IMAX scenes. If you're never bothered by EE (or the harder, edgy look), then you'll probably love the TDK PQ -- certainly, the IMAX scenes do have great PQ (and you may or may not notice any of the EE in the non-IMAX scenes).

Re: Noob question: help

Is there a firmware upgrade to make this player region free?
