Today's show was a lot of fun to put together. We rant and rave about some of the tech news, with a particularly nerdy look at DRM–Digital Right Management and why Rob doesn't like Sony too much these days.

  • Good show - lots of great topics. And thanks for the mutednoise site mention.

    Just a couple comments:
    I don't think the BlueRay/Next Gen dvd battle will be as straight forward as you might think.
    * Microsoft is dead set against a number of the 'bullet points' that BlueRay is claiming. You mention that it has a number of movie studios on board. A big reason for that is that Sony is pitching this format to them as being 'unhackable'. Microsoft knows that is nearly impossible. Bill Gates actually almost got into a fist-fight over this with a high end Sony rep - http://mutednoise.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=17...

    * Cost - BlueRay is going to be uber expensive - both the drives and the media. Microsoft is loving the fact that Sony has had to delay its PS3 next generation console until next year because Sony is committed to seeing that the PS3 has a BlueRay drive. Even when it does come out estimates are placing the PS3 well north of $500...because of the BlueRay. By then the XBox 360 will be ready to drop to $300 and have a year's worth of media behind them. http://money.cnn.com/2006/03/15/news/internatio...
