I just hope the Outlaws can survive this fiasco. The coolest feature I've seen in the HDMI 1.4 spec is the inclusion of an internet connection. When most devices these days either benefit from or require one then adding ethernet both reduces the number of cables required and eliminates the need for more ports on your home's router.
I see this 3D push as nothing more than a FAD. Even when glasses are no longer required to view it, I'm certain that it will still make some people nauseous. I'll stick with my 5.1 audio, DVDs and Bloreis for now.
I for one am looking forward to HDMI 1.4 with a net connection. And will get an AVR when available. All the gear I have has a network connection and I can't believe the amount of cables in my rack. Just a bunch of HDMI connects and some speaker wires and Im in. Ill have to replace a bunch of equipment over the long run, but still think its a good move
