"stop this nonsense about fraud, which is a term with legal ramifications"

Thanks for telling me what my opinion should be. You're an apologist to the point of seeming to have a vested interest in the issue. I don't have a dog in the fight but know when a business practice smells.

"At any rate, the video and audio performance characteristics of the Lexicon BD-30 and Oppo BDP-83 are essentially identical, with one small difference. The much heavier chassis casework of the BD-30 makes its mechanical operation noticeably quieter than the Oppo."

Tell me again how a company is justified in a seven fold retail price increase for machines with identical performance. THX certification was for marketing purposes. Flashing firmware is trivial. They are charging $3000 for the casework which is fine as long as they are upfront about it.
