With regard to the original post, this seems to be a common trend over at Sony.
Just look at what they are doing with their blu-ray players. The people who bought profile 1.0 players will most likely never be able to update them to profile 1.1 and eventually profile 2.0. This means they are missing out on blu-ray disc features they they PAID for when they bought the discs (which are way overpriced anyway).
I really don't understand Sony and their decisions for not offering downward compatibility and such. It just shows that they really don't care about their customers, but rather, about the money.
