yeah.  too much to read.  Point is PS3 is far more upgradeable than current DVD players.  Until the players start coming with hard drives which the new interactivity wants.
oh, one more thing.  any standalone blu ray players doesn\'t need the HDD to upgrade to profile 2.  It can either be a memory card with at least 256 Mbytes or higher, or an internal memory storage like a RAM would do.  1 Gbytes is more preferable.

But you are right thought about PS3 being flexible.

Why do I need memory in a player? Can\'t I just put the damn disk in without having to worry about upgrading the fricking thing?

Short answer is yes.  You can and watch the core and important part of it which is the movie and the audio.

i need to word things more carefully.  I meant to say that in order to take advantage of Profile 2, you need at least 256 Mbytes of memory storage if i recalled correctly.  1 Gbytes is more preferable i think.  You can upgrade without the need of a memory storage, but to take advantage of profile 1.1 and profile 2,  you need at least 64 Mbytes to 256 Mbytes for Java interactivity, picture in picture, and multi audio stream, internet download for newer features of the disc.

Honestly, these aren\'t really important since in general we just watch movies and we could careless about those features as they are just "extra".  So, you don\'t need to worry about it if your blu ray player is just profile 1.0.

i think picture in picture is like while the movie is playing, you can turn on another video box process alongside the movie you are watching simultaneously and the video box could be the directors, actors, etc.  doing commentaries about this scenes or that scenes of the movie. So are the audio streams of the movie you are watching and another audio stream of the commentary, both of which are being process simultaneously for disc that implemented it.

Since I haven\'t own a ps3 or blu ray player yet, so i haven\'t really seen that in person to see how it works though.

Well...it\'s like i\'ve always stated....the leap really isn\'t that big between blu-ray & regular dvd\'s...i\'m honestly perfectly happy with dvd\'s,..there really was no need to upgrade to blu-ray...but the impact was much greater felt with the transistion from vhs to dvd. Dvd\'s will always keep their clarity, and you can still get a decent picture from them.

It\'s hard to go back to DVD once you\'ve been watching BR on an HD TV.

Unless you\'re half blind. It\'d be a moot point then.

That it is...

Since I got an HDTV I really only watch the HD channels, (except for adult swim) and since I got a PS3 I only watch Blu-Ray movies.

I didn\'t even really decide to do this... It just... Happened.

yeah.  i guess for the consumers that couldn\'t see a high jump from dvd to blu ray or any hd channels broadcasts, i guess they didn\'t hook up the right video connections or select the right resolution or still using standard tv instead of hdtv.  Once they get everything properly setup, the difference between dvd and blu ray is huge.

I can see a big diference between dvd and ota hd broadcast on my hdtv.  And I could only imagine blu ray will looks better than hd broadcast.

I bought the BBC version of Planet Earth.

Jeeeeebus H. Christ on a stick! It was so crisp and so clean, I wanted to jump in and help those African Dogs kill that impala!

BBC Planet Earth is the only true version to go HD. It\'s just amazing.

Truth. The Discovery version is not as sharp. But still way better than DVD.
