Unless you like getting ripped off, I don't see the point.
How about because some people prefer the Denon brand over Samsung for starters? And how you think that it will look worse as an upconverter is a mystery to me. It's because my DVD-5900 does such a good job of upconverting that I've not jumped on the HiDef DVD bandwagon yet.
