Neither did your original statement I responded to, regardless of the overall topic. No harm intended. The flag itself is there, and as long as it is those with older HDTVs are waiting for the other shoe to drop. Any studio can change their position at any time once the format launches.

I do agree with you on your position on HDMI, for that matter. While the standards aren't mature enough for the new formats, it's certainly not the fault of the HDMI founders that the HD format camps are launching their product before the delivery medium is ready for them. IMO, HDMI is the best thing to happen to the CE world, allowing full A/V communication with a single cable. The octopus is dying, folks. I wonder if Monster saw this coming...
