Blu-ray needs to use MPEG-4 on dual layer discs too with dolby digital. Once that happens... its over.

They have Dolby Digital already, unless you're talking about one of the many new audio formats. Generally I do not like Panasonic products. I've had 2 different TV's from them, both have been just horrible. One died after 2 years, the other one, the CRT projection one, suffered from a serious Red Push issue. I am going with either Sony (the comapny that replaced my projection TV) or Pioneer.

And personally, I am very happy Sony delayed their player. I mean, yes I want it NOW! But I'd rather have them do it right with HDMI 1.3 and everything than to have it be obsolete before even hitting the market.
