Despite victory in the high definition ‘format war’, Blu-Ray has still to officially agree it’s own final internal technology standards. At present, the only Blu-Ray player capable of playing the current 1.1 and upcoming 2.0 standards is the Playstation 3.
Only when 2.0 goes live in June will full the internet, hard drive and wi-fi capabilities be unlocked. In addition, backwards-compatability for standard DVD is not mandatory in Blu–Ray players. This is one area where Blu-Ray lags behind the now defunct HD-DVD format.
However, one brighter development is the 200gig experimental Blu-Ray disc under development by TDK.
