Pioneer Announced LX01BD Home Theater System (But Why Blu-ray Profile 1.1?)

We're really having a tough time figuring out why companies insist on releasing Blu-ray players sans Profile 2.0, but it just keeps happening. Case in point is Pioneer's new LX01BD, the company's latest HD home theater system with Profile 1.1 Blu-ray playback. Aside from that faux pas, the LX01BD does features 1080p playback resolution, a couple of HDMI connections with Deep Color support, two combined front speakers and two rear speakers, an integrated 5.1 channel amplifier, and a subwoofer/receiver with dual-drive subs. Designed specifically for Pioneer's KURO plasma HDTV line, the LX01BD features KURO Link enabling full control of the system from the TV's remote. Now we just have to wait on pricing and availability details.
