Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but why in the WORLD would anyone buy a bluray player for $1500+. It just seems completely illogical to me. Case-in-point the new Denon 3800BDCI or whatever its called.

I just don't find any improvement that is worth the extra $1100... Can anyone shed some light on this? The only main thing that I see the Denon has is the video audio processing (but if you have a REALLY nice receiver, shouldn't that not matter?) and then the websites stating its "built like a tank" and resists vibration...

If you set up your HT correctly, shouldn't you not really have to worry about vibrations? Like if everything was mounted and or placed correctly. It just seems like a HUGE sham to me...

I was thinking of getting a stand-a-lone player for my soon to be bought HT, and I am kinda a denon fanboy, I just can't feasibly see myself paying 1500 for something that I can get for 400-500...
