Great closeout price of $69, plus two HD-DVD movies were packaged with the player: 300 and Bourne Identity.The unit has provisions to be connected to the internet, and indeed the manual strongly advises that the user do so in order to download the latest software revisions "to be fully compatible with the enhanced features found on HD-DVD disks."I wonder if they could also push a list of "broken" titles to the player, thus locking them? Blu-Ray also touts it's connectivity, and also strongly advises an IP connection to keep the software 'up to date.'As I understand it, they can do this kind of stuff via new releases. A new legal title could contain commands to disable specific keys, which could render either titles or the hardware unusable.I'd like to know more about the specifics of how this works and what they can do with these capabilities...
