Seriously, stratospheric prices don't bother us -- there is the "rich keep getting richer" crowd, after all -- but is it too much to ask for feature parity with entry-level receivers for this kind of money?
Walt Disney animated feature, a Star Wars entry, and the offhand Disney-specific franchise entry (think Pirates of the Caribbean 5, coming summer 2015) means that Disney will have an annual slate of almost predetermined blockbusters without even breaking a sweat, which in turn will give them the financial safety net to withstand the periodic John Carter and make occasional non-tent poles like the upcoming Saving Mr. Banks.
