Why? Call me a cynic, but I think most people don't know what they are doing. How many people have progressive DVD players hooked up to HDTVs using composite? How many people think they are watching HD when watching football just because Fox told them so even though it is a standard 4:3 set and normal NTSC channel? My guess the early adopters that are into this will go HDMI, and J6P won't even know enough to care.
