TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

But will we need to buy new B-D players to watch "The Matrix"?

The question is, can existing players be brought up to 1.1 spec with a firmware update or not! Otherwise, who is going to provide enhanced content if it's viewable only by a tiny elite group with the latest B-D players.

A rundown of Blu-Ray 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 and 3 can be found here:

Since Jack hasn't mentioned it, I will: HD DVD already has these features and more (probably encompassing the 2.0 spec as well), and existing movies utilize it.
