HDMI Version on Sony 70" XBR2 (KDS-R70XBR2)

Anyone know with any certainty what version of HDMI 70" XBR2 has? I've found information stating both 1.3 and 1.2a.

I tried to contact Sony and this is how they responded:

Quote:

Your television has HDMI inputs with 1080p capability. We cannot comment on the version of the HDMI as it is not a published information and only available with the Development Team.

However the television can still be connected and used with a product that utilizes any versions of HDMI.

I'm not sure why they won't tell me what version it has

Has this TV been released yet?
If it has, it most certainly is 1.2 or 1.1
If it comes out around February it MIGHT have 1.3
As of now, the only HDMI 1.3 device in the market is the PS3.

And it even isn't real 1.3!! LOL

I'm sure this is clear by now based on the response but an April 2007 article says v 1.2 which I also recall reading in the specs on the Sony Canada web site a while back (gone now). The only limitation of the set I know of is that the set upconverts 24fps HD DVD sources to 60fps so you don't get the full film effect from that source.
