There's already a thread about Denon going dual-format at the DVD Players (High Definition), linking to an interview.
But this is such a bombshell that it needs its own thread.

LU: Will that load the information to the disc's menu system?
JT: Most likely. I haven't seen it in true operation yet; once I get it, obviously, I'll know. But that's the premise. So you can have running pictures of the director, of the actors doing commentary or whatever other material the studio feels that they want to give you to make it a truly interactive experience. After that, it's standard Blu-ray. But there is a possibility and this is maybe not so public knowledge that when these discs come out that fit this new profile, they may not work properly with the Profile 1.0 players.
LU: Really?
JT: Its a possibility, and thats why were working very hard to make sure that our products will be okay with any previous discs and new discs.
That's not from some fanboy - that's from Jeff Talmadge Denon's Director of Product Development and Systems Integration.
Being the first company to announce a Profile 1.1 machine, they probasbly know more about this than anyone else on the planet.
Until a formal announcement is made retracting that statement, it is now impoosible for anyone to recommend any 1.0 Blu-ray Disc player without adding the caveat that some future discs may not work on it.
As some of us feared. It's not just a case of not being able to access the extras. You might not even be able to play the film.
I've avoided using the word 'obselete' in the past. But if this is true, then I'm afraid there's a possiblility that some of our machines are indeed to be effectively obsolete.
