I see one has already claimed that he feels the price is insulting, post history shows a definate HD-DVD bias, which comes as little surprise when your cheap..

Yea, my response to an HD-DVD fan expressing shock at the Denon price was basically to say ""what did you expect? It's a Denon. Not a low end Toshiba."

This is GREAT news. Those ostriches over on AVS can continue to stick their heads in the sand all they want, but for high end aficionados Denon is one of the best. For many, $2000 may seem steep but it’s not that shocking when you consider the pricing of Denon’s other DVD offerings. I love Denon equipment, so I will probably get one eventually (not Gen 1 though). Back in the states in storage, all my AV gear (receiver and DVD player) are Denon.

Another nail in the coffin for HDDVD.

Happy Happy Day for Blu-ray!

I would think so...since D&M Holdings, the parent company of Marantz and Denon, is the acutal BDA licensee.

After years of lambasting the technology, Denon has announced it is to make a major U-turn and release a Blu-ray player later this year.......

Love those U-turns!
