This is the whole "player needs two video decoders to do PiP" issue, right?

If so, two questions:
1.)what does this mean for the PS3?
2.)why was BD's PiP designed this way if the players released during the first 1+ yrs wouldn't/didn't have dual video decoders? I have to think there was a specific good reason, OR the BDA just decided to "take the hit" on PiP functionality upfront and wait til the hardware caught up with the interactivity demands.

Finally, Sony Pictures has announced a few waves of titles for 2Q. Spiderman 1/2 have not been among them. Is it safe to say at this point that neither is coming in 2Q, or am I assuming too much? Please note, I'm not really trying to pin you down. Let me rephrase it, & give you some wiggle room. Would a Spiderman 1/2 BD release warrant a special standalone announcement/press release just for those one/two titles (which could still be part of 2Q release plans)? Is that better?

Thanks!!!
