Sony says BYO HDMI, limited 1080p for low end

First and foremost is the price tag: $599 for the top-of-the-line version and $499 for a version with a smaller hard drive, no built-in WiFi support, and perhaps most importantly for a device meant to get Blu-ray into homes everywhere, no support for HDMI.
