So true, remember those first few batches of hdtv before hdmi? They all cost several thousand and were obsolete within a few years of hdmi's release. My old DLP was one of those hdmi-less tv's, the people at the electronic stores used to tell people hdmi won't last because cables were too expensive and it's unneccessary. Now look at the market.

as a general rule of thumb, i never buy a "first" of anything. as much as i would like to be the first to have something, it also means i will be the first to have an issue with it. i'd rather wait for others to have the issue, get it fixed and then i will get the product.
