If thats true, and HD DVD already has this PIP feature, why would this give Blu-Ray an edge over HD DVD?

Peace

It is just marketing crapola, if you can't deceive and lie you can't be a marketer. Which isn’t really true but does seem to be the case? It is nice to see more unit’s coming out with PIP though.

It has no ethernet connectivity.

So what they're really trying to make a huge song and dance over is no more than a slightly updated interactive CD.

That's it. Whoopeeey, huh!?

.....and if the 'profile 1.0' discs and players won't play properly with 'profile 1.1' discs and players (as Denon said a little while ago) you can bet you won't be seeing too many risking 'profile 1.1' disc releases.

Uh oh! What am I supposed to do now!? My DVD player doesn't have internet :S

Is it really necessary? I see it as just one more wire to get tangled, and another hole to drill through the floor...
