In the on again-off again world of next
generation DVD formats, everything appears to be on again. The AACS conflict from last week has been settled with an
"interim" agreement that will allow manufacturers to start making players. With that, HD-DVD should be on
shelves in late March, followed by Blu-ray in May. Excellent, the day when HDTV owners can buy high priced, high DRM but low functionality DVD players is nearly upon us, are you guys excited yet?

This just in...The reason why the AACS conflict arised was the "respected" companies couldnt agree exactly on which way they were going to screw us over with DRM. The companies have detirmined that a few slips of unmarked pills into our drinks should do the trick. ; )
