Yes, you could buy a little tank-like unit for $1000 that will last 15 years at least. The technology, though, will be completely obsolete in just 3 years, though. Maybe not a bad choice after all.

However, if I wanted all the network options and really good 2-channel performance along with the home theatre AND I had the money, well, then an OPPO is probably an excellent choice!

I have a Pioneer DVD that is still performing admirably ten years now. I still hesitate to buy anything that cost $89.00 though ;-)

I understant the Panasonic units in the $200.00-$300.00 bracket are mighty fine as well.
