Everything works fine. Movies play, look great
I just watched i am legend
I got this player for my living room..plus i had some coupons and certificates for best buy that went towards it and couldnt be used on PS3
(((Yes the coupons & certificates were real not copied)))
Question >>>>>>>>
In the future when they release the newer blu ray players with internet capabilities and profile 2.0 whatver
Will you still be able to watch a blu ray on the older players?
Not get the online features i know
But just watch the movie and the extras that come with it?
I have like 10 blu rays and like 100 normal dvds that i watch on this player
Either way it doesnt matter
Just curious
Thanks

Yes, you will be able to watch all blu ray movies regardless of extra features on blu ray players. You won't be able to access the features beyond your profile though. You may have problems with certain movies not playing initially, but there will be firmware updates relatively quickly to solve those problems if they are encountered.
