This false notion that ethernet adds considerably to the cost of the player should be laid to rest. Insiders have already confirmed that it's a nominal cost to add 2.0 compliance to a 1.1 profile player. Production volume would make the matter even less significant.

I did not say it adds considerably to the cost. I said it adds to the cost, so please don't put words in my mouth. I asked why should I be forced to pay more if a manufacturer would be willing to build a cheaper player with the other features I want but that is not 2.
