1.1 a.k.a. Full Profile, Panasonic yes?

What is full profile? I dont remember the A2 or any HD player having that., What does the full profile mean. I was thinking of the Ps3 or Samsung - Blu-ray High-Definition Disc Player Model: BD-P1400 or maybe Sony - Blu-ray High-Definition Disc Player Model: BDP-S300.

The players are being released in stages and it wasn't required to have the full-profile until Oct. 31 (anything after is supposed to be 1.1).

Here is a thread discussing the profiles:

That's why I think the PS3 is the most flexible player. It can be updated to profile 1.1 (and most likely 2.0). If you want the features that 1.1 provides (and you don't want a PS3), it'll be necessary to wait for some of the upcoming 1.1 players.

HD DVD players won't be fully up to spec until they support the newly announced, untested, undeveloped, non-studio supported, TL-51 discs.


I'm just kidding around to rile up the lurkers and trolls.

Full Profile is the most compatible BD player. It does the PiP that HD DVD is popular for. It is expected that the PS3 will have full support for PiP and Internet interativity while being lightning fast. It is by far the best bargain if you aren't set on a standalone.

Almost everyone here is Profile 1.0 and is doing fine!! Unless you are severly ADD and need video commentary on Picture in Picture, then you don't need full profile 1.1..... I have the Samsung 1400 and love it. Plus it can bitstream all of the new audio formats unlike the PS3. The PS3 is a great machine, but if you want good audio performance too, then get the Samsung 1400!
