Why? this feels like a rev grab before going belly up, and if not the price is insane and will damage it more than anything else..

I purchased AnyDVD, Clone CD, and Clone DVD2 a couple of years ago and have been thrilled. That being said, I think I'll still wait to upgrade myself to AnyDvdHD until the software is more advanced, burners and MEDIA[b] are less expensive. I have no reason to upgrade yet. I do plan to. I have a PS3 and love blu movies.[/b]

In reality, there are only 2 choices left. Anydvd and dvdfab HD

While dvdfabHD does a very good job and is free, it too may succomb to the pay for business model and no longer remain free.

AnydvdHD is the last BD+ supported decrypter.

While true, we are in the midst of economic hard times, Anydvd/HD can fold at any moment, so can may other businesses.

Slysoft over the years has never given their customers anything other than outstanding service (and value for their products).Their prices have gone up substantially, yet so has everything else.

Slysoft is doing what it has to stay economically viable.
Remember, dvdfab, has also gone to the yearly subscription renewal model. DvdfabHD can also be no longer free - at any moment.

We, at present have choices. I wish we can keep it that way. To give out the notion that Slysoft is doing this just to line their pockets with money and then abscond with it (without proof) is irresponsible.

IF you already have anydvd and you have updated it anytime in the last year then you already have anydvd hd as well.. Its not a separate program.

Meh its one of 2 likely worst case scenarios, the other being price hiking and a decline of quality.

No matter the rarity a possibility is still a possibility but more likely they are doing what corporate media is doing hiking the price because they have a racket on Blu ray protection circumvention, if there was real choice in the matter they could not charge so much because competition would keep them reasonably responsible??.

And frankly the price hiking merits extreme comments about their stupidity.

Yeah, i saw that. Been toying with the idea of picking up a BD drive just to goof around with it. I'm too cheap for DL media, much less blank BluRay.

That is only halftrue. While AnyDVD HD is integrated into AnyDVD, when you buy AnyDVD you don't get use of the HD portion of the program. To enable HD decryption you must pay for another license, a license for AnyDVD HD.

No doubt Slysoft has raised their pricing and I liked it better when they were much cheaper but like AV software they provide current active support and that costs the company big money yet they haven't charged the annual fees a security sweet does at $50++ annually. The $70-80 for the full version or $42 to upgrade is well worth the price for lifetime support only the very cheap and blind to the big picture can't see this, but of course these are the people that are still buying HD-DVD's, he-he-he...

I couldn't find CloneBD2 on Slysoft's site what's up with that? LOL

So if you can afford it get your AnyDVD-HD before it's too late.
