Otis said on HDMI 1.3 Home Theater: What you need to know:

It's even better then that! If your Blu-ray player has a True-HD decoder built in (most do) you can decode the audio (un-pack/un-lock/decode/whatever) and then send the UNCOMPRESSED 8 channel audio over HDMI to your receiver. Guess what, Dolby says that this is bit for bit identical to decoding in the receiver and they prefer doing it this way!!!! You don't need hdmi1.3 for the new formats, just hdmi 1.1 and a reciver with hdmi inputs and a player with the decoder built in. Why pay for it twice?

You don't need to have a fileplanet subscription anymore - they opened it up to all registered users of fileplanet. Good luck though - I've been downloading it since monday and teh 12 Gig file is still going...Only thing worse than a 12 Gig file coming through at 40k/s is when it gets a "Network Error" and you have to "click to retry" but of course this happens at night and you miss 5 hours of downloading... They say that it sucks anyways, even if you CAN get it to load and run for more than 10 min, the "worse than Vanguard" bugginess makes a crappy game look hopeless...

I might be willing to try a Zune this time around, especially given some of the features you listed. I'm about as sick of iPods as i am of that damn Feist song they use in their commercial.
