I understand where you are coming from, but I had to part ways with my HD DVD player after Walmart offered full refunds. I took the money and put it towards a refurbished Samsung BDUP-5000 which I got for a steal at 378 bucks (after getting my Walmart money back, it was only like 278). I have found it to be a top of the line player, and the TrueHD issue hasn't affected me because i am only running 2.1 and sound quite honestly isn't a huge deal for me.
This way, I can pick up HD DVD titles in the 10 dollar range and still get the new Blu-Ray releases. I won't lie to you though, I felt dirty when I checked out of the store with a Blu-Ray for the first time. Oh well...
