Yeah, I believe just waiting it out is in order. I really don't want to have to deal with two different formats, and deciding on one will prove to be frustrating when I find some titles not in the format I have selected.
Not sure about the dual format players. Supposed to be a new one coming out around the end of October, but we're talking about a grand or so for it. By then single format players are going to be hitting around $200 as it gets closer to the Christmas buying season.
Kind of wish now I had waiting to get a 1080p screen rather than the 1080i....
