It's rear loading. For your convenience.

I'm sure the front glass drops down to reveal a tray or slot for loading...

But Loewe equipment is notorious for being expensive and esoteric, especially in the US. What BluRay needs are inexpensive players... not more super high-end units, especially when I can't see what the likely $1k+ pricetag of this unit will offer that others don't (other than perhaps DTS-HD).

SHopkins, right now Blu-Ray and HD-DVD manufacturers are catering to the higher end crowd, because quite frankly it's the higher end crowd that usually adopts a new format first. They'll likely already have a large HDTV in their living rooms. Plus, it will be these folks who can afford to buy the HD discs. At $35 a pop, the movies themselves aren't mainstream. Releasing a $200 player won't matter as much right now. They will milk the money from the ubergeeks and videophiles first. If you want cheap, you could get a PS3 anyways, and they know this.
