High-end price? Not this model, look at blu player from Denon and Marantz selling for $2,000 and up and people buy at that price (look at the owners thread at avs).

DVD players at early years (1998-1999) cost around the same price as todays blu at 1.5year and they don't have Divx support. Wait until the cheap chineese blu players hit the market, whenever it is...
