It's reassuring to know that Microsoft isn't the only company out to hose me off for not having the "correct" technology mix - the new hi-def DVD players are going to ship with the same kind of stupidity embedded: If you don't have the right cable, then you'll get a downgraded picture. So like PVP-OPM, you'll have:

• A legally owned TV
• A legally owned DVD
• A downgraded image

These people can all go... somewhere. I see no reason to replace my perfectly good HD capable TV, and Hollywood's fantasy fears about piracy aren't convincing me. When you have a product that doesn't give me the finger, let me know.
