) than the elite

Since it comes out after 10-31....wouldn't that mean it would need to be 1.1 compliant?

And I talked to a Sony Rep today and heard nothing of this...what a smuck.

Throw on a HD-DVD drive and it's more expensive! Plus you have to worry about the ring of death!

the 1.1 is just a firmware update. The console will most likely release with whatever firmware version was current when the system was constructed.
