According to Peter T's last update, the 978 is scheduled for release by the end of the second quarter 2011. And that release was pushed back due to the decision to add Audyssey MultiEQ 32. I must be a dreamer, but I'm still hoping that the 998 is out by the end of 2011.

The Outlaws simply MUST get this prepro on the market ASAP. They haven't been able to offer anything (of their own) since the 990. High rez audio via HDMI has been available for years now, and they have been losing sales all that time.
