Spend around the same amount of $ for an Xbox 360 with HD-DVD add-on and your in a far better place.

In the end, both formats will have a far shorter life than standard DVD anyway. Doesn't everyone know that downloadable HD content is the way of the future?]]>Jan 24th 2007 5:16PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/24/engadget-hd-podcast-039-1-24-2007/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/24/engadget-hd-podcast-039-1-24-2007/
muslix64: "when I disable my HD monitor, I can watch the movie, on my old VGA screen, but, what is the point of having a HD monitor and not being able to watch a HD movie on it."

Peter Gutmann: "muslix64 was so upset at not being able to play his legitimately-purchased movies on his legitimately-purchased monitor attached to his legitimately-purchased player that he broke the AACS protection just to be able to see his own movies..."]]>Jan 25th 2007 9:50AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/24/engadget-hd-podcast-039-1-24-2007/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/24/engadget-hd-podcast-039-1-24-2007/Jan 25th 2007 9:51AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/24/engadget-hd-podcast-039-1-24-2007/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/24/engadget-hd-podcast-039-1-24-2007/
I too am curious about the high def dvd format numbers, but are we getting other high def numbers? We know that LCDs were the biggest seller this holiday season, but we have the hard numbers on how many HDTVs sold last year?

I think that 20% number for PS3 owners wanting to use it for a Blu-Ray player is kinda high. Do we have any idea how many PS3 owners even have a HDTV? AVS forum is a great place, but it hardly represents the average consumer. ]]>Jan 25th 2007 10:36AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/24/engadget-hd-podcast-039-1-24-2007/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/24/engadget-hd-podcast-039-1-24-2007/Rename the podcast "The HD Format Wars by a Blu-Ray Fan-Boy" and be done with it. I can't remember the last podcast that was actually informative and not just a Blu-Ray debate.
Maybe for a podcast to be called "Special Edition" it should be format war free.]]>Jan 25th 2007 3:43PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/24/engadget-hd-podcast-039-1-24-2007/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/01/24/engadget-hd-podcast-039-1-24-2007/
It isn't that hard for hackers to get a vendor's software media player to be keyless, or in some cases at least function without being key authentication dependant. If an HD software player gets taken off the key security radar (no key to detect, esp. if player is kept from 'phone(ing) home') but it still can function as a decrypter tool, the cat is still out of the bag.

If for AACS to remain secure all software or device environments must also be AS secure (which of course they are not), wouldn't that be confirmation that the device or player software would be the weakest link in the AACS implementation strategy?

Thanks.]]>Jan 28th 2007 3:22AM
