And even the poor suckers who bet on Blu-Ray players will have to junk the ones they already bought for new ones if they want to take advantage of the new Profile 1.1 and Profile 2.0 discs that are already in the pipeline. Or maybe they can hold out for Profile 3.0? Yay for being wedded to proprietary platforms. Good thing the whole platter technology is going out of favor anyway. I'll just take the movies and video games off of BitTorrent, thank you.
