Dont forget about fan noise, some of these units are pretty lud and can be annoying, as for "High Quality" HDMI wire I think thats a joke, HDMI is HDMI. It will be fun to see the new Oppo when it finally hits the market, I have HDDVD player and an upsample DVD aswell as Lexicon DVD unit but have not went Blu as my Projector is only 720P so when I upgrade that I will likely go Blu too.
Also as others mentioned if you go HDMI for video but cant go HDMI into reciever/Processor then make sure your unit has built in decoder to output multi channel RCA connections if you wish to get most up to date sound.
