Jerry -
Thanks for that LG review info; That's exactly the conclusion I reached - need to wait for 2.0; I've heard rumors it's in the works already and fixes the HD interactive issues, HDMI 1.3 and audio support issues.

I think I'll end up with this one unless it looks like BD will take the day - in which case I'll go for the 2.0 Elite player. Until then I'm enjoying the disks I have and may still pick up a PS3 as an interim measure for BD.

I agree with you and Mark - I can still watch a good SD source scaled up via the Lumagen.... but it does get harder as more HD choices become available...

no fence sitting here either thanks to Mark - I think BD has the best chance to win this thing, so I limit HD-DVD to Universal and go BD with everything else; already have a bunch of BD disks in the rack, just waiting on the right player.... I don't see how I'm going to resist plunking down for PS3 while waiting for 'final' player solution... but so far I'm keeping busy enough (my Apple TV shows up friday to keep me diverted a while longer...)


thanks again-
ken
