Bose finally endorses HDMI
After sidelining this now de facto digital A/V interface for years, Boss has finally relented with two new HDMI-enabled products. The Lifestyle V20 and V30-series home theater systems feature a hideaway media console outfitted with two HDMI inputs and a single output. Both 5.1-channel kits also perform automatic HD video scaling up to 1080p and are loaded with a DVD player plus its proprietary ADAPTiQ sound calibration system.
The V20 is priced at US$1,999, while the higher-end V30 with Jewel Cube speakers is going for US$2,999. We are still awaiting confirmation on the products' local pricing and availability.

The V30 does not come with a DVD player which is good since I plan to buy a standalone Bluray player. It does come with a radio tuner though. Really lookiong forward to this product. I think the key selling point to me besides Bose's reputation for having good sound etc etc is that the design allows for up to 5 components attached to the "head' (media console) that you can choose to hide. That should take care of my CD component, iPod, Bluray, an old LD Player and the satellite dish (maybe)or that could just be an input which now gives me an additional "port". Now selling for US$2,999 in the States.
