   The requirement of AACS is hurt my friends small video business. He films weddings and functions and transfers them onto DVD and more recently HD-DVD. Now that HD-DVD is no more, this only leave blu-ray for his high def videos, however the cost of implementing AACS is crazy. So at the moment he is only producing DVDs

   OK, So Sony bought the studios and their high prices provided great profit margins to drive sales, but don't talk tech specs. Blu-ray still to this day can not match HD-DVDs specs and are probably still 12 months away from doing so.

   I am a HD-DVD fan and I love High Def Movies. However I will not be buying a blu-ray player for a number of reasons. 1. The Players are still too expensive, 2. The movies are too expensive, 3. It is not region free, 4. It can't be streamed across a home network, 5. It can't be backed up, and 6. THEY HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED THE SPECIFICATIONS YET so who knows what they are going to do with it. At least HD DVD was a full featured and finalized format. Blu-ray is constantly undergoing changes and this is great for Sony and their PS3, but a but head ache for standalone set top boxes. And to be honest, I think Sony have played dirty with this war and don't want to give in to their dirty games. HD-DVD was the true sequel to DVD. Blu-ray is starting from scratch and they have a lot to learn yet before the format become ready for the masses.
