Well I just bought a 4306 and a 3910 for a number of reasons;
1) I have a reasonable collection of DVD's that I watch over and over and probably will do for the foreseeable future
2) The 3910 has Denon Link which an el-cheapo player+scaler will not have.
3) It is available
now.
4) Who really is daft enough to buy these early model HiDef DVD players when they are going to have dubious build and reproduction quality, cost the earth for what you get and there's next to nothing to watch.
5) I don’t even think these things are available in Norway yet even if I wanted one.
6) In a year or two one of them will more than likely die a death as did Betamax - I cannot see that the movie market can or will support the two indefinitely. Maybe one of them will move into PC-centric applications only.
6) HDMI 1.3 - when was that going to be around again? Yeah, right.
7) In two years, things will have settled down, the race will have been won, the technology more stable, it will cost half the price and there will be more than a few movies to watch, and it’s
then that I’ll consider upgrading my receiver and adding a HiDef player.
