"New HD DVDs issued after April 23 will not work on players running the old software."]]>May 3rd 2007 8:28AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/05/02/there-is-nothing-new-about-the-aacs-key/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/05/02/there-is-nothing-new-about-the-aacs-key/That is the key for WINDVD so it only effects that software. They would have to revoke the hardware key for the HD DVD add-on drive, which would either render all the drives useless, or require a firmware update to replace the key.
