I think this is very good news, I just hope that this DTS-MA decoding situation get resolved sometime in the near future, I have so many movies now that I can only hear the core DTS track on.

Yeah,

Great. But I wonder if any of the new features will get use from me.

It would be cool to have a playlist for video including the main feature from the Blu Ray player but,.. doesn't seem like it's going to be there.

Oh well,.. I guess I'll give a whirl tomorrow and see what I think. Certainly isn't the type of 2.0 people hoped for or expected.

for gamers, they want to be able to access xmb while in game so they can check on if a friend logs on they can contact that friend w/o exiting their game.

Out of curiousity, why the demand for DTS-HD MA? I would think Linear PCM would be a superior audio track over any Dolby or DTS signal which requires processing while Linear PCM does not. I figure ANY processing would create subtle differences in the signal. Listening to Cars and Ratatouille in Linear PCM sounds incredible to me.

Kool, but wasn't 2.0 supposed to be the mother of all updates, "What Gives"

Fox doesn't include a PCM on any of their releases, they're all DTS-HDMA. Which should sound the same as PCM, since it should be transparent to the master after it's decoded. I've heard good things about DTS-HDMA in comparison to TrueHD.

Well im very ciked to see the features not mentioned hoping that there are some good ones. Looks like this update was a People pleaser - so many people asking for it so they just came out with it, I think that the features on the surface or ok but I think that the Profile 1.1 has to be the most crucial part that was not talked about.

It's official
