Ditto, ditto, ditto, and more ditto! Being the proud (?) owner of the last generation of HDTV without DVI or HDMI, I will not be an early adopter in the near future. Until the new audio formats are on movie disks and are decodable by players, receivers and preamps, and the studios come to their senses about the copy-protection paranoia, all the HD movie disks and players that are sold in the next 1-2 years of either format will be transitional products. Early adopters will be buying both disks and players that will be obsolete (or at least odd) in some way in a couple of years one way or another. I agree with Sanjay that for an overwhelmingly large fraction of the market HD disks are an incremental improvement over current DVDs, pretty much like SACD and DVD-A are seen as not worth it by most. In the last few months it seems that locally DVD-As are disappearing from store shelves, but SACDs seem to still be hanging on. Anyone else notice this? Many stores are also mixing SACDs and DVD-As with CDs on the shelves, so it makes it difficult to browse for SACDs and DVD-As.
