RE: Unless you already own Blu-ray discs that you are itching to play...

>>What do you think the likelihood of major releases over the next year or so not being compliant with 1.0 players is?<<

Low. My opinion is that as long as existing players are properly supported by their manufacturers, basic movie playback functions will work on 1.0 players.

One factor to consider is that if Blu-ray does manage to eliminate HD DVD as a threat, there will no longer be any competitive pressure to add new features or functions to Blu-ray. The BDA can let the technology stagnate without much fear. So, it's entirely possible that Profile 1.1 will be the ultimate expression of Blu-ray capability.
