I looked at this very same receiver, and in fact was excited to see it finally in stores. However, when I looked at it I saw that they took a lot of content out of the receiver (at least compared to my 6-yr old pre-DD VSX-D602S)to get the price down.

If you are willing to trade off many DSP fields (the 602S has 7, not including ProLogic, the 608 less), a programmable remote, some component inputs (my 602 has 9, not including the tuner, the 608 has less) then go for it. I do not remember if the 608 has S-video inputs or optical inputs or not. If you have older equipment and do not plan on updating for a while, the 608 might be for you.

Personally, I was disappointed in Pioneer (and I am a Pioneer fan!) on this model. I just purchased a Yamaha receiver based on the specs and it will be arriving tomorrow. I can't wait!
