I guess all things considered, 1200 bucks isnt all that bad for what you are getting, assuming it will work for HD DVD.

It supports Blu Ray AND HD DVD!!!
I'm still passing till they release the home deck recorder versions that will allow recording of HD Broadcasts though.

I'm pretty sure they have that worked out to release the player though.
I think that part was worked out b/c the unit got delayed from when LG originally wanted to put it out.

Actually I like the idea too bad its made by LG.... LG suXXors

At first I thought you were talking about a DVD/VCR combo unit. I am considering buying one of those.
Have they decided now that HD TV will always be 1080i?

HD TV is at max 1080i the broadcasters have not adopted 1080p as a broadcast standard.
HDDVD/ Blu Ray /PS3 games / XBX 360 games can support 1080p

1080p is incredible. Im pretty sure football in 1080p would be the most amazing thing ever.

ok short explanation between 1080i and 1080p please

Here's a more thorough explanation, but a simpler one may simply be that 1080i (interlaced) means the CRT gun scans 540 of those 1080 lines every 1/60th of a second. The next 1/60th of a second it scans the other 540 lines, but they are interlaced. That is, the scan does not start at the top and go only half way down. It starts at the top and goes all the way down skipping half the lines. On the next frame it starts at the top again and fills in the 540 lines it skiped in the previous 1/60th of a second. A 1080p CRT gun scans all 1080 lines every 1/60th of a second. Of course a much larger video bandwidth (and hence RF bandwidth) is needed to send this larger amout of data. Data rate is a function of radio bandwidth. Right now NTSC broadcast signals are 6Megahertz wide. I think 720p requires 12Mhz, and does 1080p require more than 12Mhz?
There is only so much room in the VHF/UHF radio spectrum for TV and that is what all the fuss is about. You have to figure a good quality FM voice channel (two-way radio) is 25KHz wide and they are switching now to narrowband or 12.5KHz channels. But even if it is 25kHz, that means you could fill up one HDTV television channel with almost 500 two-way radio FM voice channels or cellular phone voice channels.
