PiP decoding, PS3, cores, and other stuff

[Damon Payne]

If Pip is turned into a software issue on BD, that opens the door for widely varying PIP experiences across different BD players. Good news: if its software than all players should be firmware upgradable to handle it, if they cannot already do so via some trick. However: The PS3 has howevermany procesing units and of course should have the power to do this but what type of processor or ASIC are in the other players? They don't have an unlimited # of cycles for regular decoding plus whatever software tricks are needed for the PIP.

I view this as a HUGE concern. While I personally care very little for these features its keeping Batman Begins from showing in my home theater and it is the only thing I can think of that people can point to and say "BD can't do this".
