The MVP861 is what it is, a fine player for many kinds of disks. As far as HD or Blu-Ray these formats will undergo many changes over the next two years. Will both survive? Who knows.
McIntosh will take a wait and see position for now until the dust settles. When we do address the HD disk side we will need a machine that someone can use many years without feeling obsoleted.
If you are looking for a machine now you should by the Toshiba, Samsung or the others on the market. None of these machines have the new HDMI 1.3 yet as this will take some time to engineer in. The BR machines available now will not play the final 50 GB disks so they too will soon be obsolete.
Next week at the Denver CEDIA show we will see many new machines and I would look to Pioneer, Panasonic and others to offer some strong machines performance wise.
We will be showing the VP1000 1080P scaler and the new ..........

That would be nice! I think a projector had been discussed before. It could mate with the VP1000 (a projector without internal scaler). The VP1000 is two-zone so it could be connected to a projector and a plasma.Kevin M. said:
Too late for me, I already got my projector :sigh:
It might not be for this year, but would like mac to make a high quality DVD "transport" with no analog outputs; HDMI (and digital audio output for MX's) only.
