Why,why,why.
While probably the best dvd sony ever made not to mention stereo SACD , NTSC Progressive scan , i tend to think that the player has gotten abit long in the tooth.
Ironically, it's succesor the dvp ns 999 es was never never really a hit, despite terrific sacd playback and is now selling for only £499.00 at hifibitz.co.uk despite having launched mid last year.
The 9000ES is a great players if you are not interested in multi channe SACD or PAL progressive scan,Not to mention Gorgeous.
