Well, they kind of need to leave some video section in there - formats like BD (which is starting to offer some great audio options) and DVD-A basically require it. Once you have some sort of video section, it's worth leaving in there and beefing up the analog side, similar to what the BDP-83SE does.

There was a report on AVS that someone called Netflix to ask about the BDP-93 and was told that both the BDP-93 and the BDP-95 are in the works. Should be curious to see what the BDP-95 might offer as a successor in spirit to the 83SE.
