This player used to be under $500 at Amazon. :eek: Other stores are still selling it for around $500. I guess the gouging has begun!

(I got a discounted one for buying a TV in January. But, yowza, I'd never buy one for $750!)

I do not think there will be any gouging. Prices go down naturally and in this case there might be different reasons for the price increase. One of them might be just an oversight on Amazon's end or a change of their distribution channel. You will notice that even on DVDs Amazon and other stores oftentimes even claim completely different SRPs. Most of the time I attribute this simply to mistakes in the listing.
