Blu Ray 2.0 HTIB - do they exist

Does anyone make a Blu-Ray 2.0 HTIB with at least 2 HDMI inputs? If so who and are they any good?

Not yet. As of last night, the only 2.0 player on the market is the PS3.

Are existing Blu Ray players going to get upgraded via firmware upgrades like the PS3. If so are there any Bluy Ray HTIB that may get upgraded in the future?

Nope. The 1.0 and 1.1 profile machines on the market now lack the necessary hardware (like ethernet ports, etc) to be upgraded to 2.0. Sony threw everything but the kitchen sink hardware-wise into the PS3 when it launched and many of the features have just recently been activated through firmware updates.

If by HTIB you mean one of those home-theater-in-a-box systems nobody makes one that plays Blu Ray at all, yet.

Samsung does. It's only Profile 1.0, however.
