Could be...things are really up in the air

The new Sony TV (2003 model) that just came out, replacing my ~6 month old one, is essentially identical in every way, minor plastic color differences, NOT at all what Sony announced it would be, and lacking the advanced higher speed signal capabilities they said it would have, besides other HDTV-related stuff. So don't be real sure of what they're doing...yet. My newish Panny DVDP is not the same as Panny announced it would be 6 months ago. In video, these days, 6 months is a long time, and I get the distinct impression things are slowing down rather than speeding up as far as higher definition goes. Could be the slow economy in the U.S., politics, could be the powers that be are fighting to maintain their already substantial entrenched investments...I don't know. The first is significant, because people just aren't buying the big $/new stuff as expected, our small community excepted.
