BDA Admits To Rushing Blu-Ray, Screws Early Blu-Ray Adopters

http://www.betanews.com/article/Blur...nto/1199841379

"Blu-ray may have taken a commanding lead in the next-generation
format war, but the group has a big problem looming: early supporters
of the format will be left out in the cold when the Blu-ray Disc
Association introduces BD Profile 2.0"

"When BetaNews asked why these manufacturers rushed out players that
were not fully capable and potentially buggy due to their BD-J
implementation, the Blu-ray partner pointed blame across the room to
HD DVD. "We should have waited another year to introduce Blu-ray to
the public, but the format war changed the situation," he said. HD DVD
was already coming and the BDA had no choice but to launch Blu-ray."

These Beta Ray profiles are stupid. When will it finally be finished?
Profile 10.0?

HDMI has the same **** you factor with 1.4 this fall and so on.

Well it looks like they did a good job of sucking all the suckers in. But
it's still not too late for people that haven't bought an HD player to
make the right decision.
