Seems to me that the most prudent thing to do at this point in time is to buy nothing unless it is fully HDMI 1.3 capable. If that means waiting a few months or more - so be it.

1080p projectors with HDMI 1.3 connectivity will be reasonably priced by the end of the summer.

Outlaw will finally get its act together with its next generation pre/pro - which will no doubt support the full suite of HDMI capabilities. I'm guessing some time in 2008 at the latest.

Once the dust settles over the HD-DVD vs BlueRay debacle - the player you buy will be HDMI 1.3 compliant.

Be patient. If everyone stops buying the non-compliant stuff right now it will only speed up the supply of properly-equipped units.
