Only upgrades I'm waiting for are to get an external HDTV tuner w/ HDMI preferably (or DVI if it's a good deal $ wise) and I hope to upgrade to a HD DVD/Blu-Ray universal player once the price comes down to around $500, until then, I'll stick to my regular DVD's since few new movies are coming out that I care to own.

4) What do you think is the most exciting feature of HDMI 1.3?
I'm an audioholics much more than a videoholics, so any expanded audio capabilites.

1. No, I'm not using HDMI.

2. Pio Elite 72TXV receiver and Sony KD-XS955 TV. They work fine together, but since the TV is analog, I get a better picture through component.

3. I'll upgrade when something requires HDMI or I get an HD-DVD/Blu-Ray player.

4. Deep color.
