Can I watch Blu-ray profile 2.0 discs on a Blu-ray profile 1.0 or 1.1 player?

Question

All I’m interested in is watching the movie in 1080p and in surround sound. I don’t care about all the special features about how the movie was made and all that c**p, I just want to watch the movie.

Answer 1

The movie will play on profile 1.0, 1.1 or 2.0 players.

The special features and internet connectivity require Profile 1.1 and 2.0 players, respectively.

Answer 2

The last I read about the 2.0 profiles were, they are backward compatible. I donno, if any movie has yet come with this profile yet.

The players are yet to flood into the market with this profile. Sony PS3 has been an advantage once again here with the promise of Sony to support 2.0 profiles with the PS3 Blu-Ray player.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Yes.  The profiles are for special features.
