Costco got some of these and have a killer price of $499! ($899 list on the sony link above)

I love it just picked it up myself recently to go with my xbr4 and ps3 if you have a ps3 it's awsome since the ps3 sends out truehd as lpcm plus it upconverts anything plug into it also excepts 8ch pcm which is all you need and also excepts to 1080p/24 everyone says onkyo but like the bravia link and like shit to match lol either way you can't lose with onkyo or strdg 1100 imho , now just need to get the ps3 to decode dtshd ma and i'll be set.

hope this helps you

If I read the specs correctly, it does NOT decode True HD or DTS-MA.

It DOES have a phone input. a third HDMI input, and Faroudja upscaling to 1080p.

At $499 I'm not sure it is a better deal than the Yamaha V-663 at the same price, which doesn't have the third input or phono input but does have the advanced audio decoding and 1080p scaling.

I guess it just depends on your setup and what features you need. If someone is going to have their player do all the decoding anyway, it seems like a good choice.
