Anybody else hear about this?

Yup, that's making its rounds.

hopefully comes in cheaper than $1800 then.

I have a feeling they might make it dual format? Otherwise I don't know why it would be delayed, unless there were problems with BD profile 1.1?

Since it's obvious the format war is not going to be coming to a quick close this Christmas like many had hoped and expected (barring shock and awe out of nowhere of course)...Denon probably realizes this market simply is not ready for an uber expensive player right now.

I don't think that's it. Denon wants a "statement" player and this one is it. It has nothing to do with most regular Blu-Ray buyers and will appeal to the high-end guys who have been waiting for something like this.

Denon will then flow-down the technology and build a series of less expensive players. This will all happen if they are confident that the market is strong enough to justify the expense of course.

What I read is it is not being released in Europe until Q2 2008, nothing about the US being delayed.
