I'm going to see how this upgrade is handled. I canceled my Oldboy order, since I don't know if future discs will be playable yet. Despite my dislike for the way the BDA does things, I do like owning both formats. It is still possible, that down the road (when I calm down a bit)I will replace my 1200 but it will have to be a 1.1 complaint at least. The funny thing is, that the 1200 really is a very good DVD player. No more REON chips in future generations.

I have three issues with the PS3:

#1 DTS-HD Master Audio
The PS3 has more than enough horsepower to decode DTS-HD MA, but it's not a SCEA priority at the moment. Right now they're working on Profile 1.1/2.0 capabilities and that's the next "big step" for the PS3. I'm guessing it will be the highly anticipated 2.0 firmware update (not a small point-this or point-that update, maybe around December or January). Once they get that out of the way, they'll see if there're horses left over for DTS-HD MA decoding.

#2 Video levels
Because it's software driven, firmware updates have seen the player go through an on-again off-again ability to properly pass digital video levels 1-15 and 236-254 via an HDMI-DVI path. There's only one way to properly display video and SCEA needs to make sure that it stays put. Right now (v1.93), the PS3 is in the "not-put" position.

#3 Denon DVD-3800BDCI
Based on the info that has been released, this will be the best Blu-ray/DVD player available. Yes, $2000 is rather steep, but Denon doesn't fuck around when it comes to audio and video quality.
