SACD 2...for those who have not heard

Bad news as far as I am concerned, just what we don't need.

Budrew, after looking at my post, that should read they have it backwards Sony/Phillips and not you. Sorry about that.

Average joes are still not buying sacd's, and putting a picture on the screen is not about to change that. If you need further convincing, check the dvd-a sales. My thoughts are, if there is video or picture stills, or whatever on the disc, then something has to be downgraded like resolution, or possibily no redbook layer. Either of these two things will deter sales of hardware and software. As far as the first gen players being compatible to sacd software and current software being compatible whith future sacd 2 hardware....i don't see this as being a problem.
