Sigma Designs releases Blu-ray Player (Profile 1.1 or 2) reference kit

So what does this mean in terms of timeline for when we will see profile 1.1 and 2 players on sale and hence when Warner might be able to release the discs that are waiting for this? I know support for 1.1 is mandatory from Nov onwards, but presumably manufacturers can release 1.1 or 2 compliant hardware sooner than that if they want? And once there are several players on the market, there's no reason for Warner to wait any longer as they will be able to test their discs against multiple players.

It's an exciting time for Blu-ray!
