Hey, Strube - what was the lightening deal? I just see a Sylvania blu-ray player that was offered at that time. I don't see any Denon lightening deals.
Yeah I was talking about the Sylvania - the "his Denon" was referring to the 3808 - when I posted I didn't know the brand (just that it was a blu-ray player). It sucks anyway. Anyhoo, the Panasonic BD60K is only $214 right now for some sort of Father's day sale, and the new Samsungs (BD-P1600/3600) instant-stream Netflix, which is why you should look into those instead of a Denon BD player...
I would still do the 3808 - I am pretty sure the 2809 doesn't have an GUI, which is so very nice to have...
P.S. Welcome back! Alex really missed you.
