OK, here's what I want to know: since the ICT has not been implemented (yet), why is HDCP a requirement? I want straight up DVI out to a 17" LCD, which supports native 720p. The 360 DVD drive + this software would be ideal, but I suspect the DRM 'features' have disabled people like myself who would otherwise adopt the technology.
I've said it before and I will say it again: I will not buy a new monitor for a DRM 'feature' when mine can display the exact same pixels. I'll wait until something like this is cracked to allow digital out.
Forced upgrades to better hardware because the old stuff won't cut it: ok, fine. Forced upgrades because the old stuff isn't locked down to Hollywood's liking: no F***ing way.
ICT is for analogue connections only, if you want digital it has to be HDCP. Hollywood seems to be worried that an digital capture would be terrible for business yet an analogue capture is okay. I suspect cracking HDCP would be difficult as it is hardware based, but once AACS is cracked then output via unencrypted DVI will work.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
