when the video 1.1 encoded discs get played on 1.0 machines? Hell, there have already been some issues, and the new spec discs aren't even out yet. I expect alot of hiccups with BD playback down the road. Hopefully, FW updates will do the trick. We'll see.
Personally, I don't think triple layer HD DVDs will happen, nor do I care.

I might have issues with the latest Blu-Ray discs because of the spec changes... - oscar 06:39:19 08/22/07 (3)
but that's the price I knew I might pay for being an early adopter. Still, I'll be surprised if my current player will not be able to play any "next-generation" Blu-Ray or HD DVD discs.

I fully expect to eventually replace/relegate to another room my current player with a more full-featured player(s) down the road. Hopefully, AFTER the format war is resolved, but that possibility just took a big hit.

It'll be interesting to see how well LOTR extended versions w/ lossless audio fits on a 30G disc....

  I expect a few glitches with my player too. Hell, I already have a few glitches. :-( Hopefully it won't be alot of discs, and hopefully, Samsung will upgrade the FW.
  I expect LOTR to be the studio versions.

  - Firmware changes will be a fact of life for a while. I'm waiting for disc to arrive. - oscar 07:11:28 08/22/07 (1)
    so I can hopefully resolve an audio dropout problem I've occasionally had. Hopefully the transition from 1.0 to 1.1 will ONLY require a firmware upgrade (if that).
    - I hear ya - Jack G 08:53:32 08/22/07 (0)
      I'm hoping for a FW upgrade so my player will be more reliable. I'm *hoping* I don't have issues with 1.1 discs.
