I have been waiting to get into Blu-ray for a while and will continue to wait for a while longer for two reasons: (1) I want to see what Outlaw implements in the 990 successor in terms of the new audio formats, video processing, etc., and (2) I want to see what Oppo does for its rumored BD player (I'm hoping it will play SACD and DVD-A). If that means being left out in the cold a while longer, so be it.
