I am. I can live without the PAL thing. It's D-Theater that I care about.

I was sort of tempted by one and then, pretty much on a whim, picked one up from J&R in New York last weekend and carried it back. Now all I need is some software to play on it (apart from the JVC demo tape which is outstanding in quality but gets a bit boring after the third viewing......)
Assuming some D-Theater software turns up and it doesn't die a quick death, if you want to get a taste of HDTV in the UK for the foreseeable future this looks pretty much the only option. If you buy one for use in the UK you'll need to accept that it is going to be a playback medium only (and an expensive one at that) and you'll be relying on the Studios to keep to their promises regarding releases in order not to end up with an expensive door stop.
As you only live about 20 miles away, if you want to try it, you're welcome to (once I get some hands on some software - the release dates of which seem to be slipping bearing in mind they're meant to launch next week and only one title has been announced officially...)
