Gents

I have the new Sony 1080P HD screen and am looking for a HD player but am unable to fine if any are multi region for standard DVD? I don't really want to keep 2 players at the moment so am also concerned with the standard DVD playback quality as opposed to HD DVD. I have similar questions of the Bluray format but am inclined to follow Meridian in readiness for there new player. Is it worth waiting or jumping on and taking a look?
