2010: The End of Component Video

Saturday, February 20th, 2010
"Even existing Blu-ray players, even the one you may have sitting underneath your TV right now, will be affected, thanks to a lovely little piece of technology.

After January 1, 2011, the producers of Blu-ray disks will be able to include an "Image Constraint Token" with any Blu-ray disk which will disable HD over component video, limiting it to a 480i/576i resolution - even though your player is perfectly capable, and bought well before the cut-off date. They want to ensure that HD content only runs through HDMI.

In their provisions, the AACS LA actually refers to all this as the "Analog Sunset". "

Netflix on Playstation 3 ? extended review

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009
Quote:
The PlayStation 3 presents itself as many things? a highly advanced gaming device, a top-notch (reference quality) Blu-ray player, and an Internet enabled pathway to a world of downloadable games, movies, television and BD-Live enabled content. Most everything I?ve tapped into thus far has either met or exceeded my expectations for the PS3 Slim; however, there?s always those items that aren?t so great (the PS3?s web-browser is terrible, with limited access to some of the most popular sites? yes, you can get your web-enabled email, but what about access to Hulu? No dice! Might as well be living behind a firewall in China).
