New technologies fall in price as they become more entrenched. It happens with every single product from the wheel to cellphones, and it's truly bizarre that you think blu-ray is in its own unique category, distinct from everything else known to man. There is nothing about 1.1 or 2.0 that makes it more expensive than HD DVD players. And as far as that goes, my player was upgraded to 1.1 for free without even leaving its shelf. A similar upgrade will bring it to 2.0 compliance and any future firmware advance. It's a nonissue.>> It certainly does not manifest itself as a difference on my 1080p TV. <<
Are you sure you have enough experience viewing material optimized for both formats to make that call? Industry insiders who do have that experience disagree with you on that. And then there is the issue of audio content, which you can only address by admitting you don't really care about it.
