>Yes, the prices are ludicrously expensive and I cant import a lot of movies
> now like I used to because of the stupid region coding BS

I dont like region coding at all (simply doesnt fit in the global economy), so get a region free player then. I just installed a hacked firmware in my Blu-ray player and it plays both my region B and A titles now.

Besides, something like 70% of all Blu-ray discs arent region coded at all. There are far more of my DVD's that is region coded than my Blu-ray's.

> RESUME PLAY!!

My Oppo BDP-83 does resume play as long as the disc itself does not prevent it.

>Standardize control interface on all discs.

Up to the studio's. Can't really blaim the format for being flexible.

> Fix the ridiculous load times.

Oppo BDP-83

The Oppo BDP-83 need a hacked firmware in order to change region.

I'll probably be able to pick it up on BD from US before it opens in theaters here.. (we are talking october :-( )

This and simular titles is the reason why I beside a region B player also have a region A player..

The lack of "AnyDVD HD" would prevent me from buying a Apple computer.

DViCO's TViX comes with a high WAF. The GUI is nice and easy, but network setup is a little difficult if you are not familiar with networking in general. Offcause you can just use it with a local HD or with a USB drive attached.

The girlfriend bought it for christmas..Watched all episodes in one day.. It is highly recommended..

I bought it for my mother as a christmas present along with a BD player (Sony BDP350). She watched it 4 times allready..

# Bozo... Ehh.. Bozster.

You have faith in companies that thinks reselling disc media is theft.. Yes.. Look it up.. Thats what many in the entertainment industri thinks. I doubt it will be possible to resell paid downloads and yes.. In theori it is possible, but not very plausible and unless you can show me a service where it is possible it will be high on my top 5 list on why not to buy downloads.

Have you actually read the fine print about redownload? There is plenty of examples of downloads disapearing after a while because company X doesnt supply products from company Y anymore (Seach for Sony PS3 downloads as example) . Limited number of times you can download (read the fine print of pretty much any download service).

Transfer the paid download. Okay.. So I can transfer my purchase from Vodu to my friend's Xbox, my moms DVD player and watch it on my sisters portable movie player? You make it sound so simple.. I must be so "less informed".. or perhaps you are full of it and think we all have the same equipment?

The same will happen as when Yahoo, MSN and a couple of others tried to close down their DRM servers - a public outcry. DRM is poison and have nothing to do with a positive work like ecosystem. If you beleive that DRM will get more better and more convenient I have an Eiffeltower I am interested in selling..

The only way I'll purchase a download is when it had better quality, wider hardware support and when it is free from DRM..

How many of them paid for their video and/or music downloads?

Is it just me or does it seem a little stupid to bet on sales to a generation that pirate copy pretty much everything from the internet?
