Very astute Mr. Pylot....maybe I wasn't paying attention earlier and until seeing this post never put it into conscious thought when making my decision. But the last thing I want is an 'internet or apps' problem taking down my $1000+ TV (okay, okay, so I paid just a little over half that but the replacement cost today would be $1K). Even an easy warranty fix requires a service call, something I don't particularly relish the thought of. The BD player with built in WiFi and apps is much more robust and would be a fraction to replace if necessary.

Congratulations on your purchase.
FWIW, I chose not to get an internet capable set because that's just one less thing to go wrong (if it does) with the set and a Blu-ray player with built-in WiFi is usually more robust and easier to update over time than the tv will be.
