Greece being on this list seems like a mistake. I Live in Greece and I've seen the game everywhere on launch day and beyond. Plus the greek distributor has been advertising the game in a lot of bus stops which was a first for that particular company.

Remeber, remeber, the 5th of Noveber? Awesome!

"Format" wars are the new fad I suppose and everybody seems to be getting into it. But other than that, are you sure there is even something as HDCP 1.3 that is mentioned in the post?

Just to clarify. Deep colour is of no interest when it comes to HD movies since the movie has to have been specifically encoded with deep colour in mind.

Additionally, the fact that the Xbox 360 cannot transcode lossless audio formats to uncompressed PCM has nothing to do with the drive. The drive is a passive reader. It has everything to do though the width of the bus connecting the CPU and the audio I/O chip of the console.

And no I won't be buying it. I would only be interested if it sported and HDMI 1.3 output. I hoped it would so I would not have to spend more on a stand alone player.

As things stand, the Elite is only interesting to those with two few or no analog video TV inputs.

A few more things. It's version 1.2a and the reason why Microsoft was not able to add 1.3 at this time is the fact that they 're HDMI "supporters", not HDMI "founders". The latter actually design the standard and get first picks. This explains why Sony got it months ago.

What exactly is that light we see in his ear canal? Could it be...the other side...?

Borrowing ideas is not the problem. Sony executives making it sound like everyone has copied THEM though is an outright insult to human intelligence.

If Phil Harrison or whoever does not say anything along those lines I won't have a problem with them. If he does though...the ridicule is never going to stop.

And I refuse to cut slack as well to anyone that tries to impress me with terms like "4D" just to feed their own superiority complex.
