News that should surprise nobody: HD-DVD movies are starting to appear on Torrent networks. According to ArsTechnica, the film "Serenity, was made available as a .EVO file and is playable on most DVD playback software packages such as PowerDVD. The file was encoded in MPEG-4 VC-1 and the resulting file size was a hefty 19.6 GB." The alleged security keys and ripping method has found its way to a few forums where they are received with cries of "WOW I'LL BUY A 360 HD-DVD DRIVE NOW!". People still watch movies?
In similar news, owners of specific LG standard DVD drives have the ability to rip Wii games through looping a diagnostic program that reads the raw data. From Digg: "Using an LG-8164b or LG-8163b DVD-ROM drive, a way to dump Wii games has been found. Running the DVDInfo application to allow read access to the disc and using a collection of "rawdump" apps, a Wii game disc can be backed up in around 50 hours." Is nothing sacred?
So how long until we see Blu-Ray knocked up and on its knees? I give it 2 months, tops.

That guy transcends the current gen =0
I totally agree, that guy is way ahead of our time.
There was some journalist who was trying to convince everybody that the next gen consoles are now, and should be called, new gen instead; because of the times we're in. I'm not for it, because the journalist never called me back.
Personally I don't give a shit, I was just joking with Niero.
Bloody Pirates. I hate them.
As for the article I find it quite funny. I don't know why Sony and all the industries try to cut off the ability to burn/download since hackers and the like are born to find loopholes. What's even funnier is how those industries also know they can't just cut off DVD-R's and the like without losing some cash. I betcha they make a shitload of dough from people buying CD-R's/DVD-R's and shit.
And I'm not judging here, I've pirated before. I don't anymore. I just want to know how the logic in your mind works is all.
I wouldn't get a second job because I think free time trumps getting new media. If you figure out how immortality works I'll take a second job.
although... while keeping the pirated hddvd movies would be rather pointless, i guess you could still pirate the movies for a one time viewing... but when you consider the time it takes to download 20gb, espeically off of torrents, i think i'd rather just shell out the cash to rent/buy the damn thing
open your hundreds of dollars console (voiding its warranty), buy some sort of modchip that will come in a little envelope from some obscure asian country,
get some diagrams off the internet,
solder like 15 to 25 wires to different parts of the console, put it back toguether,
find some game in the internet,
download like 4 or 5 gigs of data,
burn it to a DVDR,
play the game....
Not only its expensive and time consuming but it takes some balls to solder some foreing sh!t in your beloved console innards....
I believe is actually easier to work 7.5 hours and buy a game...
