Ser Blu-ray mere og mere ud, som den mulige vinder af format krigen, eftersom flere store film producenter (Paramount Pictures og NBC Universal) enten har droppet, eller kraftigt forsinket deres planer om at lancere film på HD DVD formatet.

"A hacked player is any player that is doing something it's not supposed to do," Setos said, adding the jury was still out if regional coding would be maintained or scrapped.
Hvilken straf man kan få for at pille ved sin egen Blu-ray afspiller, bliver spændende at høre! Imellem tiden kan I læse hele artiklen hos
