Since we're talking facts, how do you respond to this from the blu-ray
developers.

"In order to allay confusion, the BDA has adopted special labels that
will be placed on Blu-ray movies. Those with a "Bonus View" sticker will
require Profile 1.1 players, while those with "BD Live" will require
Profile 2.0.

In addition, the BD-J interactivity layer, based on Java, has continued
to evolve since the introduction of Blu-ray Profile 1.0. This means that
early players may have a buggy implementation and perhaps more
importantly, they are not powerful enough to play the latest films
properly."
