Futuresource still predicting big things for Blu-ray {Engadget HD}

> 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.

Jun 5th 2009 1:08PM 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..

Mar 4th 2009 5:38PM 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.

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..

Dec 8th 2008 5:20PM 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?
