I wouldn't be a bit surprised if sales were suffering at this point, but truthfully there are only three options for looking elsewhere that will get you HDMI v1.1+: get a receiver with pre-amp outputs and HDMI v1.3 support (which can be had for at or a bit below the price of a 990), get an Integra 9.8 or Onkyo 885 (for more money than the 990), or get an Anthem AVM40/AVM50/D2 (a lot more than the 990, and HDMI v1.1 only).
