Buying a new DVD Player

So our DVD/home theatre player crapped out and isn't reading discs.

It's a few years old and probably not worth getting repaired, so we're likely going to buy a new one.

I'm not looking for specific advice as to manufacturer and make, but more generally about quality. Perusing the shelves at my local Big box retailer, I was suprised that there were only three models below $400m but there were plenty at $1000 and up.

What's the difference between these $1000+ models and the budget minded ones? I'm inclined towards the latter, because I just can't justify spending that king of dough to watch movies. I'm no audiophile, but I don't want the new one to crap out after a few years either. Do you really get what you pay for?
