you don't have a problem with a DVI input.
there are HDMI >DVI cables and vice versa.
iirc, HDMI just adds the capability of sending an audio signal in, but i think most people are still going to have a seperate reciever set up (if they are bothering with HD they most likely already have 5.1 sound at least).
i have a dvi input on my projector, but was able to use a HDMI dvd player, with the proper cable, without a problem.
yeah, The Music Man was the one title on the list that suprised me the most (in a good way).
although i may not be getting into this right off the bat, i am definitely going to consider selling off more and more of my collection in the coming months in anticipation of eventually upgrading to some HD format.
and yeah Blu Ray has the better specs, but i know from months of serious comparision shopping for HT gear, that specs alone don't mean a whole lot.
the proofs gonna be in the pudding.
if i look at demos of Warners HD DVDS on large displays and see a good enough reson to upgrade, and the price is right, i will.
if the price is right but wow factor isn't there, i'll put my attention back to what little gems are getting released on dvd.
by that time we should be seeing more and more 'deep' catalog titles coming out and thats the kind of stuff i would be more excited to sit down and watch anyway.
yeah, i'll be really excited to see Superman and Jaws and Alien show up eventually- all films i've seen 50+ times.
seeing them in HD will be like seeing them again for only the 10th time.
