$600?
As said above; no analog, no BD-Live, no Reon...
And here's a news flash in case nobody else catches it; this is another Funai player. The display is identical to that of the Funai triplets (Magnavox/Sylvania/Insignia) and the A/V ports are identically positioned as well.
$229 > $600
Ridiculous.

Ouch, it does look a Funai although in fairness it looks closer to the Philips BDP7200 than to the Sylvania / Magnavox brands. Funai are the OEM for all of them but the cheaper models don't have the 5.1 analogue or optical outputs. Still a lot of money though for a badge and new case when the BDP7200 can be had for $300.
It's not the first time either for Onkyo to rebadge a player and slap a huge premium on it. Their DV-HD805 player was a rebadged HD-XA2, both of which were OEM'd by a company called Alco.
DrXym @ Oct 7th 2008 5:48AM
Hmm, just looked at the back again on the Integra and it has the optical but only stereo analogue. So its even less specced than the Philips model. What the hell?

@ DrX
If Alco built the XA2/805, then kudos to Alco. The XA2 is the the best built piece of electronics I have ever owned. Not one corner was cut.
And the BDP7200 makes quadruplet of the Funai triplets. It only adds analog.
