Definitely wait. I don't think you gain much of anything for HT now. Even the HT mags don't review DVD players anymore because the differences are so small, even from cheap to expensive. In a couple years, you can buy a HD DVD player and a TV that can support the resolution and you'll be taking a big step.
big bucks on dvd player worth it??
If I am using the player strictly for movies what am I gaining by going to something like an ayre or tag -hi end player vs the pioneer dv59a that I have now- Is the pic. better,audio,is it worth spending the money with hd coming?-my system is up to the task of a high end player just trying to decide what if anything i am gaining? thanks,gary
