but one has to imagine how much the PS3 will cost..... because if they lower the price of the ps3 and samsung and pioneer dont lower theirs, there could be a conflict of companys
Whatever is the cheapest will be my choice

But...the 30 million HDTV owners now with component inputs only, we're the ones that hopefully will not get screwed.
What companies out there have or will put out a connection between the HDMI cable and my component input? Do you think that they'll charge an arm and a leg for it, especially since we "HAVE TO HAVE IT!!!"
Do you really think the industry would ignore and want to isolate that many customers???

A few weeks ago I researched a design for an HDMI to component transcoder. All the necessary components are commercially available. Total parts cost is around $70 so I expect a retail solution could cost

I'm hoping for that connection and I'm sure some small company will put one out. We know that Toshiba has a backward compatible HD player for our DVD collections.
I don't mind buying another player, I just hope that the player will be compatible with my A/V receiver. That's another big buck item!
Crap, I just couldn't afford to go out and buy everything all over again. If you had to buy all over again, who would buy all your old stuff??? Try throwing out a 65" Mit RPTV???
