Even if they were going to have $200 players this year, they would be stupid to admit that now.

Paging Gomac.
Downloads haven't arrived at a theater near you yet - Engadget HD
"more than half polled didn't even know movie downloads exist; more than a third know about but have never tried them; and less than 10-percent regularly download movies. And what, pray tell, is the biggest feature consumers are looking for? A little something called "quality of content," a.k.a. "more titles, please." Shocker, right? Don't get us wrong, we're all for downloadable content. But beyond the chicken-and-egg problem of getting studio support to attract more customers to get studio support, there are other outstanding issues as well. Until bandwidth is a non-issue and crazy DRM restrictions are gone, physical media makes good sense to consumers and businesses alike."

I'm willing to bet all the $200 players will be 1.0 players.

No, because as of last year, Blu-ray made 1.1 mandatory for all new players. 1.0 is officially dead.

They can no longer create new 1.0 models. But they can continue to produce the current 1.0 models.

Steve on Apple TV:
Everybody's tried to make a great product for the living room. Microsoft's tried, we've tried -- everybody's tried. And everybody's failed. We failed, so far.
So there's a whole bunch of people that have tried, and every single one of them's failed, including us. And that's why I call it a hobby. It's not a business yet, it's a hobby.

Why do you think he hasn't posted in a while? He's already on the floor.

He was talking about the first iteration of the TV there, and hoping to change that with Take 2.

I have very little faith in anything "mandatory" for Blu-Ray. Yes, I think 1.0 players will be around next year. At the very most it'll be the 1.1 players that'll be at $200.
