Denon DVD-3800 BDCI (has it shipped yet)?

[Bullseye]

Has the Denon shipped yet? What are the impressions. Alittle disappointed it does not have ethernet.

Denon has confirmed its commitment to Blu-ray by unveiling details of its first Blu-ray player, the $2000 DVD-3800 BDCI.
It's due to go on sale in the US this autumn, and will be available in the UK around November, according to the company's spokesman. He adds that the standard finish for PAL versions will be silver, with black as an option, and that "US prices do not directly translate" - so it probably won't be £1000, then...
The DVD-3800 is said to be the world's first high-definition disc player to use the 10-bit Silicon Optix Realta HQV video processor, and one of the first to incorporate a BD-ROM version 1.1 disc drive.
The player will have high-definition audio decoding, capable of handling Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks. It has DDSC-HD audio output, and is capable of outputting 7.1 analogue signals and PCM via HDMI.
Other features include an SD card slot for downloading web content, although there's no Ethernet connection, so users will have to use a PC to transfer web content to SD.

No one here or on other fora has seen one yet. Speculation is that we'll be able to place orders shortly and/or we'll see the players by end Jan. If nothing else, I'm sure things will clear up at CES.

Well the Denon Site just put both Denon Model, Dec 21 and Dec 22 online. With a ship date of Jan 08...

As soon as some hacker figures out how to brick HDM players over the internet, I think the glamor of ethernet will quiet down.

Oh look, the delay wasnt to add HD DVD as some hinted.

A couple of dealers claim they have the Denon DVD-2500BTCI in stock.

I've been tempted to run an NSA scan on my Pioneer to see what, if any, services it is listening on. I'd be very surprise if it was much of anything. There's not much of an OS behind it and what OS there is above the stack is very proprietary.

Is there a magic-brick packet? Haha!
