RE: You weren't going to run HDMI from the source straight into the display ?

Can't do it currently. My present display which is a Tosh 50" HDTV ready RPTV can only go 1080i and only component connection is available.

I think there are more folks than one may think at this point that are only running component for the video and perhaps only optical for the audio also.

If I can get lossless using the analog connections and run component for the video then I'll be getting a player this weekend, probably the Sony 300.

The PS3 only gives me the audio through optical at this point and I want more than those audio tracks if I'm going to take the plunge.

There is a video cable adapter currently available for around $200 that allows converting your component inputs on one's display to an HDMI input. But that is even more cash I'd have to lay out. I know I'll be stuck not being able to upconvert SD DVDs staying only with component but so long as I can watch those in 480p, I'm OK with that.
