Don't be silly, this is clearly for all the US citizens and service people working over there. It's never been proven that any Japanese bought HD-DVD players.

Sony will be releasing Blu-ray Profile 1.1 players this summer.
-----
Sony will be introducing two new Blu-ray Disc Players. One the first week of July 2008, Model# BDP-S350, which passes all high bit advanced audio codecs (like the Panasonic DMP-BD30) to an outboard decorder (Pre-Amp or Receiver) and will be Profile 1.1. The other player, coming out the first week of August 2008, the BDP-S550, will incorperate all the high bit advanced audio codec decoders in the player and will also be Profile 1.1. Both are HDMI 1.3a, catagory 2 compliant (output). Load times are faster. Both will play CD's, but not SACD.
The tentative price points will be:
Sony BDP-S350 $ 349.99
Sony BDP-S550 $ 449.99

However, these players will be Profile 2.0 ready:
-----
Sony Unveils 2 BD Players, 21 Bravia LCD TVs - 2/26/2008 6:11:00 AM - TWICE
The new Blu-ray Disc players include the BDP-S350 (retailing this summer for around $400), which will ship with the ability to play back Bonus View (picture-in-picture) running commentary tracks and will be BD Live ready, meaning a forthcoming optional firmware update will allow the players to connect to the Internet to take advantage of Web-enabled extras currently being produced as bonus content for future Blu-ray Disc releases.
To carry out the capability, the players will include a built-in Ethernet port for connectivity, and external USB port for local storage. Other features will include 1080/60p and 24p True Cinema resolution output, 7.1-channel Dolby True HD and Dolby Digital Plus surround sound decoding and bit-stream output, as well as dts-HD high resolution audio and Master Audio bit-stream output.

Those specs are good enough for me, but I'd like to see much lower street pricing.

LAME. How hard is it to put in an internal 40-60 GB HD?

Not hard, but it costs money. And you might need extra cooling.
Plus, not everyone wants and needs this, so I think it's good they make it optional.

Still, they could have included the necessary 1gb of storage required for spec 2.0 by just throwing in some flash memory. It's cheaper than even a 40 gig hard drive and requires no cooling.

All glory to the hypnotoad.
