WOW.... this is such an open ended question... i cant wait to read all the opinions on this
FWIW- i think you can get a pretty good quality DVD player, that plays all sorts of formats, for around $250-$350. you CAN pay more if you want to, and there is nothing wrong with that.. and the higher priced units do offer DAC and processing speeeds that are greater than the cheaper ones.. but, as someone once said, it just comes down to the laser reading the 1's and 0's..
i cant truly say that the more expensive ones are THAT much better than the cheap ones, cause i have never had the pleasure of watching or hearing one of the expensive ones.. but what i am saying is that you can find a very functional player, that you will be completely happy with, for less.
