I see. From what I had read, there were only the Denon players. Many people were really rather disappointed when Sony themselves announce only 1.0 players. I don't recall a 2.0 player being announced. Who is producing it?
They really should release them BEFORE the holiday season though, since a good number of both BD and HD DVD players are going to be sold this holiday. Then again, I suppose most people are buying the PS3 for BD playback, and those are likely to be 2.0 compliant at some time.
All I know is the longer they delay, the more splintered the userbase is. Then again, I understand that they are also trying to lower the cost of the players, so adding all these new items (flash memory, an additional video decoder, etc.,) won't help them get BD players to mainstream prices...
Another thing is, if this transition to new specs is as easy as most BDA spokesmen say, why the delay? They already postponed the date once, and even with the later date, no CE manufacturers have a 1.1 player ready for this year. The silence speaks volumes of the haphazard way the BDA has managed the specifications.
