The 1400 does not have the HQV upscaling chip that was in the 1200.

You're far better off with the 1200, which can be grabbed for $300 CASH on most kijiji sites.

Yeah, but the 1400 can bitstream the latest audio formats to compatible receivers. The 1200 can't. If you're an audiophile then the 1400 is a much better deal. Plus, I think most people get their players for their Blu-ray playback capabilities and not for how well they upscale standard DVD's. But that's just my opinion.

The good news is that there appear to be a number of players that can be obtained with semi-reasonable deals/prices as of black friday.

Hopefully these prices are here to stay (we won't see Toshiba's entry model for over $200 again) and keep dropping as we head into christmas.
