Yet another reason to make the Chinese DRM free fromat the unofficial winner.
It's time we applied the same open source mentality to hardware that has been so sucessful in software.
Look, I got no love of China. But in this instance they are the only group with a base big enough to challenge this BS that Gates and Hollywood are pushing on us. If there is another manufacturer that we can get to say "to hell with Hollywood, were making what people want to buy" let me know.
At the end of the day, money always talks, Even in a communist country.
Both these formats, when "ready" are going to be hyped like mad and dangled in front of the dummies who don't know any better. We need to offer a better, underground solution before they get their act together.
Cracking these formats won't do the trick either, because they still sell units and cover their costs.
If you're reading this, you're probably one of the guys who advises everyone you know about what to buy and what not too. Then find the OPEN Source, OPEN format answer to the HD-BS, and screw Microsoft, Sony and Hollywood all in movment.
