IMO, there's no rush to get a HD player if you can't use it on a HDTV to take full advantage of the player features (hi-def, upscale normal DVD, etc). Why spend over 25k just to see the same PQ similar to a normal DVD on a regular tv right?
Probably it will be best to save up & by the time you got your HDTV..... hopefully newer, better & cheaper HD Players will be available by then...you'll have a big selection to choose from. First Gen players always have some weaknesses in terms of design fault, glitches, etc.
There are a lot of HDTVs in the market now. For LCD 32" LCD, prices range from 90k-120k.
