Denon Lowers Price, Sticks with 1.1 For DVD-1800BD Blu-ray Player

[gadgtfreek]

Instead of blowing out all the stops with a big mama pajama queen of all Blu-ray players, Denon appears to be playing the Pioneer card by launching the $750 DVD-1800BD player. It's lower in price than its $1,200-and-up predecessors, and only meets the mandatory 1.1 spec (that is, picture-in-picture but no Ethernet) rather than full-blown but optional 2.0.

You would think for $1200 they would have a full feature 2.0 player. What are we talking about here a $.50 Ethernet jack and few extra lines of code.

Someone please kick the record player when they walk by.

That really is sad. 1200 bucks is a lot of money for an old standard. It should be 2.0.

$1200 is a lot of money for a new standard.
