Anyone who's stupid enough to pay $3,500 for a Blu-ray player deserves to be ripped off. Period.

Not sure why this should come as any surprise. People have consistently been willing to pay exorbitant prices for name-brands. This has been a staple in the auto industry for 100 years. And more recently with bottle water and coffee. Or does anyone really think that a $5.75 Latte is greatly superior to the $1.00 one?

But I'm with Jay, any joker who spends $3500 for a BluRay player deserves to get their wallet vacuumed. Heck, that $500 Oppo is a stretch too.

well if i'd paid $3.5k for it, i bet you I'D certainly notice the improvement. at that price my ears and eyesight are obviously more discerning than yours ;-)

I know it would sound better to my ears too - my wife would not be around any longer to talk to me if I paid $3500 for a player.

Terry, tell your wife it's your mid-life crisis purchase and that it's cheaper than a red convertible or a motorcycle ;-)
