Cliff notes: the lower model does not include HDMI outputs yet, meaning that in a couple of years when movie copyright protections kick in, the lower model will not be able to output Blu-Ray movies in true high-definition of 1080p (instead it will be halved at 540p).
Copyright protections include the mandatory use of a digital line such as HDMI.
