yes we have profile 1.1 but what ive read about it,if the software supporting profile 1.1 may not play on profile 1.0 players.
since profiles are a hardware issue were screwed because will have to get a new player.
lets get the facts right.
by the way as a blu-ray supporter i want to know what the other guys doing.
the fact is right now there testing the 51g disc.and they made it clear a firmware update would solve that issue.
the issue i have with blu-ray is profiles [again] is a hardware issue and thats means you would have to buy a profile 1.1 player to get all the features of that profile.i really dont care about special features,or bd live.
but what would piss me off is will a profile 1.1 disc play on my 1.0 player.
if not, im mad cause im not gonna buy another bd player everytime a new profile comes out!
look i love blu-ray but this format has its short comings
hd dvd has its short comings too.
i dont pretend blu-ray is the greatist thing since sliced bread,cause it isnt
it is as been said many times blu-ray is a work in progress.
i just hope they care of us guys and gals when it comes to this profile thing and do the right thing.
