Any News on 1.3 HDMI Receivers?

[GreenJelly]

I am looking into the future, and want to know if anyone knows of any receivers that will support 1.3 HDMI in the near future. 3-4 months?

HDMI website says early next year... I hope these products are not sky high in prices.

i think we'll have a good guage after CES 2007 (2 more months), but i'm with you. my home theater is circa 1994 and in desparate need of an upgrade. HDMI 1.3 is going to be next for me

Why is 1.3 so important isnt 1.2a good enough for 1080p?
Id like to know as i am looking to buy my first surround sound system and dont know much about them except what ive researched myself.

1.3 will support resolutions higher then todays HDTV standard, and it appears that the BLUE-RAY, HD-DVD may also support higher resolutions.

1.3 will match sound with images, ensuring that the response time for LCD, Plasma, Projectors and TV's are equal to that of the sound.

1.3 will also contain some more digital protection for HD signals, to prevent people from copiing them.
