AACS, DeCSS flashback?
There has been a fair amount of hype emanating from the AACS. Mainly how the key is very only 128-bits long, and has already been made known! All that's left is to plug it in to a decrypter such as DumpHD, and it'll dump it into an unencrypted file. You can then play it on your PC. Of course, you can also buy Nero 8 Ultra Edition, but it's expensive at $100! In other words, if you're thinking of building an HTPC, Nero 8 Ultra Edition and the Bluray/HD DVD plug-in is essential! There are other programs for playing bluray, but none that play HD DVD also. Add this to the fact that Bluray / HD DVD / DVD ROMs are only $160, and HD DVD is a cheap (and obsolete) feature. This makes it perfect for those who bought into the HD DVD standard too early, and already have a small library. In fact, you'll only need 1.5 HD DVDs for it to be worth it. At $30 each, the $40 extra from a Bluray-only drive, will pay for 1.5 Bluray DVDs that have to be repurchased.
