Interesting this Sony BDP-S300 only has HDMI 1.2 and not HDMI 1.3? Earlier reports said it was HDMI 1.3. They must have changed the specs before releasing the player at a lower price. The PS3 is looking more attractive every day.

“According to Sony the player will pass x.v.Color from its HDMI 1.2 output, but will not automatically switch an x.v.Color-compatible display to the correct color space. You will have to do this manually; auto-switching apparently requires HDMI 1.3. I lacked both x.v.Color source material and an x.v.Color display, so did not test this feature (at present x.v.Color source material is limited to discs recorded on a few camcorders). “

Didn't I see this exact post somewhere else? 1.3 means nothing to me as my reciever and tv don't have it either.

I know your in love with your PS3, but the S300 is a great player and has 5.1 outputs that I perfer.

Could be a blessing in disguise. IIRC there are no players that send out native TrueHD DTS-HD bitstream and even when they do come there's questions regarding how it's going to handle the audio mixing (ie commentary mixed with menu sounds and soundtrack info)

I guess we'll find out soon..the next level of players from Samsung are supposedly going to output. Can't wait to see the results.
