@jozen: Yes, but the sad thing is, that's surprising now.
I'm no MS fanboy, in fact I prefer linux, and I don't have many gripes with OSX (just a couple), but the amount of sheer Steve Jobs/Apple ass-kissery in this blog is sickening.
@Morgan Breden: Then go somewhere else, or block out Apple posts as they have described many times. Or you can go start up your own non-Apple tech blog.
Seriously. Complaining about it won't help anyone or anything.
One of the issues with Blu Ray players is that they don't replace an excellent CD/audio system. If these have really good audio outs, then I'd think the prices are justifiable.
Plus, in the weird wacky world of hi-fi audio, these prices aren't even that high (not that Denon makes such awesome sounding audio gear anyway). So if these things do what they say - great blu-ray + great CD audio (able to replace an aging one trick pony CD player) hooked up to a great set of speakers - then $500 / $700 doesn't sound so bad to me.
People are still paying thousands of dollars for CD players that do nothing but play CDs, after all. OK, not entirely rational people, but living, breathing, wine-sipping people nonetheless.
Question: My TV automatically upscales non-HD content. I think this is a common feature in HD sets now. Does that undermine the utility of DVD player-based upscaling? Is this upscaling "better" than the kind done in the TV?
@350z-racer: Yeah, same. Not sure why anyone would consider anything else actually (aside from the videophiles - who still have a pretty puny argument, or people that just outright HATE Sony products as a whole.)
