Thanks for the replies

I think I might just end up going with the 990. Much better solution overall. One thing that I read (not sure if its true or not) but I read that most of the movie studios are starting to back out of Blue Ray and HD DVD because they really only want a signal solution like the current DVD format. If this is true than either both formats will die quickly or become an add-on like SACD and DVD-A. I think that I will still be wating it out abit to see what goes on. But really I could just use the 7.1 inputs on the 990. Overall if both formats do become a standard than I think Im gonna wait until there is a universal player out that has both, might take a while but Im sure someone will try it, I heard that Samsung is actually trying it out now. So its gonna a be a big surprise for the future

Thanks again
