Oh wait, you mean advantages for US? I have no idea.]]>Nov 22nd 2008 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/Nov 22nd 2008 3:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/
This is the second time I've seen you make a stupid car analogy. And more so than before, I am now sure that you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.

I pointed the following out to you in a previous thread, but you ignored it so I'll say it again; this Denon, along with Onkyo's BD player, is 100% identical to the $200 Insignia/Magnavox/Sylvania. They're all the same Funai unit, with slightly different cosmetics.

The drives are the same, the I/O is the same, the on-unit display is the same... what don't you understand?

BMW doesn't buy Chevys and put BMW badges on them.]]>Nov 22nd 2008 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/
If Funai & Best Buy, Walmart etc.can make money selling them retail for $200 (and less) there is no excuse for Denon flogging a player for the equivalent of $800. It doesn't matter how great the brand is or their support - you could buy 4 Insignia players for the price and you're getting essentially the same kit. Or if you prefer brand names, buy 2 BD550s or BD55s and benefit of onboard decoding and profile 2.0.

My own feeling is Denon / Onkyo don't intend to sell many separates but will probably use them as the basis of some HTIB or bundle.]]>Nov 23rd 2008 4:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/Nov 23rd 2008 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/Nov 22nd 2008 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/Nov 22nd 2008 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/
Imagine buying a Mercedes that's made by Kia. That's what people are pi$$ed off about, not the price itself.]]>Nov 22nd 2008 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/22/denon-rewards-buyers-of-its-pricey-blu-ray-decks-with-free-batma/Nov 23rd 2008 11:29AM
