Since eventually there will be a wide range of Blu-ray deivces ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 players and drives, you will see some devices perform better than others. This is to be expected in a computer world but not necessarily in the CE world since most CE consumers know nothing of the underlying technology aside from the fact that it works well or it doesn't.

My real concern is that the studios will need real developers to code and since studios are not software companies they will hire college interns or fresh college grads, pay them crap to create kludge fests.

Unless BD-J does have a simple framework that any "tech" person can develop in (like HDi) then it could potentially be a mess.
