I don't think that's what "universal" means.
There are already region free BD players/movies. I think "universal" refers to the video/audio formats supported, inputs and such...
P.S. To mister editor, a spelling check required:) "input"

I could go for breakfast( I guess kinda like the food synthesizers or replicators aboard of ships in Star Trek and such...), but a HJ from a machine? I don't know, it just doesn't sound enticing at all...It either has a woman's touch, or DIY!

That is a pretty hefty price tag. Too hefty for my blood.
Some assembly required.

Ehh, seems like a waste of money. You could buy a computer that does all of that and more for like $2500 max.

I was thinking the exact same thing while reading the article, only with a lower computer price. And if you want it region free, you can get AnyDVD or other similar program. $3800 is ridiculous.

Is it just me or is that thing enormous and it has 3 plugs for power or am I seeing something wrong.
It looks like one of the old cd players back in the 1980's.
Those were huge too but I guess when you really think about it the first dvd player was 2500 or more plus the recorders were more then that in 2000.
I think the price tag is a bit much though.

LOL! The 2 round connectors towards the left side are balanced XLR outputs.
Some audiophile grade preamps give you the option to use balanced XLR connections instead of the usual RCA presumably to decrease line "noise" in less than ideal environments.
Preamp with XLR inputs and outputs:
