Aug 11th 2006 5:34PM Actually you don't need HDCP unless the DOT (flag that requires digital output) is set on the title and this flag is for future use. So with titles for the foreseeable future will output just fine over VGA or component. Of course this is also assuming that the ICT flag is not set. If it is set then it will be downresed to 540p. Of course most studios are not setting that flag either.
net net is that you'll be fine playing on your PC for quite a while yet even if you don't have an HDCP card
