Just off the top of my head, some of the differences are:
-Dolby Pro Logic IIz decoding -Anchor Bay ABT-2010 advanced analog and digital video 1080p/24fps/60fps upconversion and deinterlacing with multi-cadence detection -Audyssey Dynamic Surround Expansion for a more enveloping soundstage with front width or height channels – World’s First with DSX -Audyssey MultEQ XT, Dynamic Volume, Dynamic EQ (it can be purchased for the 3808 for $100) -Six HDMI inputs, dual HDMI video output
How much is the 3808 going for now?

If you dig (US) I think you can find the 3808 for around $800 - $850... I've seen the 4310 as low as $1299. Not bad.

The 4310 is a noticeable improvement over the 3808 and I wish I had waited before purchasing my 3808. htnut has highlighted the major differences and if the 4310 wasn't ~$1000 more than the 3808 was when I bought it I might own a 4310 already. As the saying goes good things come to those that wait, and wait I shall.

Yes, but in the world of reciever technology, good things come at a rate of every 6 months. So by the time you've waited for something to come down in price, the newest good thing just got unveiled. So my advice is this... since we're all going to die in 2012, just wait until around Christmas of 2011 and buy the best thing on the market as of then. That way you will have the peace of mind of knowing that you got the best reciever that ever was or ever will be!

I am still trying to see the real benefit of HDMI 1.4, not sure if this new spec is really worth the extra cost they will charge for it.

They haven't even fully utilized HDMI 1.3b yet...things move fast. I have the 3808 and love it. Lucky for me it doesn't look like I'd be using any of the extra features in the 4310.

The upscaling is the major feature I am looking at and if I wait long enough it won't matter for me either, so the trusty 3808 will remain till it dies.........a second time.

Re HDMI 1.4, I understand the new 3D BluRays/TVs will require it so if you think you'll go down the 3D road in the near future it may be worthwhile.

As long as an apparatus is required for me to wear to get the 3d effect while watching TV/movies I am not buying into it. I will wait for holographic rooms to be built
