That's great to see my PlayStation 3 (PS3) will continue to be one of the best Blu-ray players available on the market today. I can't wait for BD-Live! Bring it Sony! ; ) @ alkalinesi "damn!!! it seems like all these companys just silently waited for CES. then bam! they drop the bombs! so many new profile 1.1 and 2.0 players. i wonder what the hd guys are doing right now." Those HD guys are crappin' their pants, by the way!

I wonder how much these 2.0 players will cost.... hopefully not very expensive, hopefully we will get some prices and estimated release date

BEN, JOSH, PETER, Can you guys ask Sony how far DTS-MA decoding is away ?? Anytime within the next 6 months?? Its getting ridiculous all these DTS-MA soundtracks, and all we get to hear is the core version.

Sony didn't want to "steal" all that they keep in reserve for the Blu Ray conference is my guess
