Apparently the brilliant masterminds at Hollywood have decided that any high definition optical movie disc should be only viewed through an HDTV or Monitor with either a DVI or HDMI connection. That means that if you just purchased an HDTV with only VGA and/or component video inputs, you won't be able to enjoy any of the formats. Either a non HD version or the movie or simply a crappy screen would welcome you to the world of high-def movie viewing.

Do this people realize that to actually replace DVD's they will have to give people a good excuse to buy not only a new Video Player, but also a new expensive HDTV or Monitor? SCREEEW THEMMM!!! My progressive scan DVD player connected through component cables to my 27" CRT HDTV looks off tha hook. Don't let them rip you off. The difference will be no where as great as the one between VHS and DVD.

Uhhh is that news confirmed because it would mean Sony going back on their word that the PS3 would support older TVs. They have to know if they agree to this they'll kill their sales.

PS3 games would still support all TV's. BD-Rom Movie playback function would need an HDTV with HDMI. I suggest you check the Oppo OPDV971H it's a DVD player that upconverts the traditional DVD's to 720p and 1080i resolutions. It's a better option specially if you own a large DVD collection and if you don't have an HDTV with HDMI.

Man am I glad you posted that article. But my only question is how is hollywood going to control the hardware. I mean the can only put movies out on hardware that is avaible, meaning players that only support componeny video, how are the going to say what can be run and not be run.

Theres a dude who seems to know more than me about it and in the previous thread he says that HDCP is some sort of DRM itself. So that might explain how they plan to control what runs and what doesn't.
