I think most players have this already... I have it in my POS BD-P1400 and let me tell you, it doesn't do any good if the updates don't fix anything.
On a side note: Does anyone find it ironic that the general attitude is, wait until the profile 2.0 comes out? When Warner was making their decision, they wanted to choose a format that would give the highest probability for HDM to become adopted and quickest to get to mass market.
Instead we went from "I'm waiting because I don't know which format will win" to "I'm waiting for Profile 2.0", in the end its still "I'm waiting..."
Moot point because Profile 2.0 will be out soon? Take a hypothetical scenario that Warner went HD-DVD... Studio exclusivity and Disc size is a moot point because Fox and Disney will soon go HD-DVD and TLS51 will be the new standard disc. See the similarity? Morons...
The fact is, the architecture oh HD-DVD will not change and there would be no "Waiting for TLS51" because it would use the same damn architecture! Reader compatibility? Sure, but the architecture would not change and personally my "shit" (1080i, HD-A2) player does a better job then my "shit" (low quality, BD-P1400) player. In both cases they are shit but one cost $140 and the other $250.
So tell me Warner, was it a good idea to go Blu-ray exclusive?
