I am in the same boat: searching for an HD-200! I have had my GW-XBR60 for 10 days or so, and that's 10 too many not to have HD

Although I love the TV. "Taken" is coming across real well in DirecTV SD.
I am on a wait list with Myer-Emco locally. As of today, no news from them on when they'll come in. Circuit City and Best Buy do not have any.
I also spoke to Crutchfield yesterday and the fellow told me that they now had a date of Jan 25 for this receiver!! He said this was due to Sony having to do revisions of the model and re-issue. This brings up the problem of how to identify a new model versus an old model, since they have the same HD-200 moniker. The news is getting worse as I go along.
