uhhh.....only hdmi output....honestly.....the only people that have hdmi inputs on their tv are the ones that can fork out for a true player and not this POS. From what they wrote, it looks like it will only have hdmi. I could be wrong though. Plus only 1080i? Please......blu-ray will have a player for probably 250 by x-mas which will do 1080p and have different outputs besides hdmi....
Plus with all the POS China stuff going on right now with their products...
That's just nonsense. I have three TV's in my house that have HDMI and all of them cost under $599 each. HDMI capable sets aren't astronomical. That said, It will likely still have component outs.
Nice speculation there on the blu-ray player, which is all it is. I'd be just as pissed off dropping $250 on a blu-ray player that supports a half-assed, unfinished spec as I would $500. The cheapest player on the market would have to drop $150 by then. I'll have to see it before I believe it.
I just LOVE reading pro-BD stuff. "HD DVD's getting what? Oh yeah? Well, BD will get that too in a few months, just you wait!"
BD = the waiting game... "We'll be good... someday!" :)
You know the BEST part about this player? It supports all of the HD DVD features like net access and picture in picture. Guess what BD players support that? NONE! Not even the PS3. Why not? Because the spec isn't even finished yet.
Where did you get the idea this will "only" have HDMI? Even the HD-A2 has component and composite connectors.
Even if for whatever reason, this CE made an HDMI only connector (as if that's really a money saving act on their part), most HDTVs sold in the past year have at least 1 HDMI connectors. HDMI is pretty much standard on new HDTVs... the problem is with older sets like my sister's 3 year old set that lacks one.

So the bulk of consumers looking for value hidef players are poor BUT have HiDef displays at least 1-2 years old when....ummm... they were what...far cheaper to buy? BRILLIANT! The lack of brains for hidef fanboys still shock me, but your 1080i B-S pretty much buries you. Night night.

“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

It doesn't say it is HDMI only, it specifically mentions this as a feature, but my guess would be it has standard outputs as well.
OH NOES!!! It's made out of lead!
