Lack of 2.0 profile players

[prerich]

The lack of 2.0 BD players indicates something to me as far as the market is concerned....very few people are interested in 2.0. There are only a handful of players that are 2.0 (Playstation 3 and HTPC's are the first ones that come to mind). Most new high-end players are profile 1.1 (but most audio/videophiles don't care about 2.0 - I'm 2.0 capable and I will probrably never use it). What's a the hub-bub about manufacturers coming out with 1.1 players? I think they are just giving the consumers what they really want - good PQ, good AQ, a few features and gimmicks (PIP - see where that went). 2.0 is really just a gimmick to me and adds little value to BD. Question is - should we really be concerned and in a huff because manufaturers still turn out 1.1 profile players? I think profile 3.0 (audio) would be a better feature than 2.0 (although I enjoy 2 channel stereo greatly - actually prefer it over multi-channel, there's just a magic with 2 speakers throwing this huge image) - but that's just me. Let's chime in - shall we?
