I know your comments were meant to be sarcastic, but there are certainly people who feel this way. As one of the earlier adopters of HDTV, I got screwed out of many of the enhancements of the current HDTVs. My HDTV is HD-capable, two component in, 480P, 480i, 1080i and that's it. Sure I'd like to have DVI/HDMI and 720P 1080P, but it wasn't in the cards at that time. So, this summer/fall, when it's a full 5 years after I bought my first HDTV, I'll probably get a new one - hopefully with most of the bells and whistles. No need to get a new one every year (or even every 3) unless you've got money to burn. Do it for the picture, not having the latest and greatest all the time.
