For you, B-D 1.1 is hopefully nothing more than a firmware update that will give you access to more advanced features of future movies. Whether players can be updated in this manner, and whether movies using 1.1 features can be played back on 1.0-spec players, and to what degree, isn't at all clear.

Personally, I'm not worried: If my PS/3 is indeed the 800-lb gorilla of the Blu-Ray world, either it will be updateable to the 1.1 spec, or the 1.1 spec likely will go nowhere.
