I've been eagerly awaiting an appearance of these cards. I thought they would be out at this point, but I've yet to see anything. I plan on buying a 1080p TV in the future and I want to make sure with my next video card upgrade will be able to hook into this TV nicely.

So I throw the question out to you guys. Has anyone heard of anything being released before Xmas this year??

This is the only one I've seen around so far.

I went ahead and just bought a DVI-to-HDMI for $13 and change from Monoprice.com, for now. Same interface minus the audio pass-through capability. No HDCP support this way, but I expect by the time players prices are at a level I'll buy one, and there is enough content in the format, there will be much more variety to chose from, than the 1600pro and 7300GS at that time, at a lower price. I would suggest that if your vid card has dual link DVI you make certain the cable is also designed for it, just to be safe. single link shouldn't be an issue since it can do 1920x1080, but it seems some have had issues with it none-the-less.
