I'll will have to agree with Alfonso on this except that I would expect purchases to increase dramatically by the upcoming holiday season when both the new Panny and Sony full featured models will be available. Hd audio has been a real challange to understand for most consumers even some of the advanced tech types due to the confusion of passing high def audio like DTS HD MA v.s. the ability to decode it. (PCM, bitstream, coax audio output jacks, decode, passthrough, only via HDMI etc etc) I believe both the Panny BD50 and Sony S550 will finally be able to decode all of the HD audio formats? The idea of "final format compliant and decodes all HD audio" may help consumer confidence levels along with holiday sales compitition..
