Similar position myself , daniel. Had hoped to be watching HD for Christmas but 3 months of delays to the XE1 put paid to that . Now waiting for the new Samsung panels to become available ( M86/M87 etc)

At the moment I'm limited to Component or S-Video tho at least I have the choice of DolbyTrue or Plus to keep me interested while I wait.

If you do decide to jump at that pretty reasonable price I may have a duplicate disc or two to get you going smile

Mostly harmless. Comfortably numb.
