The Tweeter store by Quakerbridge Mall has a former floor model 3800 boxed up. They're selling it for about $690. I asked to take a look; the back sticker shows a February 2002 date, which I believe represents an older unit that does not have all the kinks worked out. There is a slight scratch on the top, near the front of the unit. I decided not to bite (independent of what Denon would do to "freshen it up") and instead went for the 2900 (which per the salesperson wasn't in stock in the stores in the vicinity, so I'll pick up next week). I hope the 2900 has noticeably better DVD-A and video than my Panny RP-91; a 30 day return option is worth the near-retail price to me. The 3800 looks a bit more solid than the 2900, though.
