Well I remember the bad old days when it was impossible to rip dvd until Norwegian John came along and now look at us ! ;)

Well the upside to this is the fact that although making the players have stopped the support of their older hd dvd players will continue and that is a wise and mature move on Onkyo's side. Well done.
