I've heard that the PS3:

...won't be upgraded to Profile 1.1
...won't be able to play DivX movies
...won't be able to scale DVDs
...won't be able to output 1080p24
...won't be able to decode Dolby Digital Plus
...won't be able to output YCbCr
...won't be able to play AVC content
...won't be able to cook my breakfast

Well, I made the last one up. Anyway, see a

pattern? (Open in New Window)

I believe the only Sony insider David could be talking about is paidgeek, as the SCEA insider hasn't shown up at Blu-ray.com yet (though he/she is probably too involved with CES business right now). If paid says "it's coming", then it's pretty much coming.

By the way, David's thoughts pretty much mirror mine as to why the PS3 hasn't been updated to "full blast" yet. I'll further say that it may not be until the end of 2008 that PS3 firmware updates slow down (right now they're at about every other month).
