Can't believe I've never noticed this thread before.

I keep wishing Pioneer would put out a limited production player or something. Why should vinyl records get all the retro love? Single sided playback and LD only, so as to reduce the things that most often break down in combo players. (If I have to get my CLD-D704 repaired one more time, I may shoot it!) Maybe some digital tweaks you can turn on and off in the video section. CAV still frames jitter like crazy on a modern HD set. And a built in AC3 demodulator, dammit!

BTW, trying to prune one's LD collection down to the essentials is a pain in the ass. Even if there's a better version out on Blu Ray, the cover art is hard to let go of.
