of kids want an iPad
The Nielsen Company presented a cadre of individuals with a list of nice, shiny gadgets and let them cross off anything and everything they'd like to buy in the next six months, and 31 percent of kids 6-12 picked the iPad as one of them.

Yeah, looking at the article itself, there appears to be a mismatch. The "Features" list says that the Onkyo bitstreams DTS HD MA (and DD+), whereas Murph's write-up claims it decodes them.
That said, this is a box designed to fit into a rack. You'd generally hook the thing up to a suitable receiver. Sure, you can use an older receiver with a BD player that decodes the newer codecs and sends them via analog, but I have to admit to feeling this kind of thing should stay digital until the very last moment, and requiring it be sent digitally to a receiver isn't a bad thing.
Still, at only $600, and with only the purchase of a suitable HDTV and a $500+ AV Receiver required to make use of it, this truly is evidence that Blu-ray's becoming the popular, affordable, format we all want it to be.
HAHAHAHAHA! Ha ha ha ha ha! *snort* Woohoohoohoohahahaha!
