As Oscar said, they are going to have to add value either perceived or real, to get people to buy into it. They are also going to have to lower prices dramatically for both hardware and software. And they are also going to have to be alot better and clearer about video profiles. We'll have to see what CES brings next week. Marantz is introducing a new player, but I heard it was basically a rebranded Denon. It won't be cheap.
Lets see how thing go.
