Hi all,

I am thinking of getting the Samsung BD-P1400 now available locally.  This is a profile 1.0 player.  All I want to know is whether I will be able to watch the new movies designed for profile 1.1.  I am not worried about PiP at all and never watch the special features on a disc.  So... does this mean that I will be able to watch the newer movies but that I just wont be able to access the profile 1.1 specific special features.

Also would I be better off buying a PS3 as my Blu-Ray player instead of the Samsung (I like the idea of a stand-alone player and wouldn't use the PS3 for games - I have an Xbox) as it is able to be upgraded to profile 1.1 - also it is cheaper but not by much when you buy the remote.

Cheers
Douw
