At this point it doesn’t look like Managed copy will ever get here

February 27th, 2010 admin

Oh Managed Copy , the feature that made such a big stink so early on in the Format War still can’t seem to become a reality. It was bad enough that it took until the very last version of the AACS to even be defined. Now here we are six months later and although last month all the studios have signed the new AACS license, Managed Copy doesn’t seem any closer. It doesn’t matter that all the discs being shipped today support it, because evidently the license servers aren’t anywhere near being operational. In fact the only thing that has seemed to have happened in the last six months — other than discs shipping today that support it — is …

Get Him to the Greek Blu-ray includes a free streaming copy — of a different movie
Universal’s added a new wrinkle to persuade people to buy Get Him to the Greek on Blu-ray — throw in a copy of an entirely different movie. Sure, during the MTV Video Music Awards we imagined not having to watch Russell Brand was a feature that should be included more often, but we didn’t expect to see it tucked in among these...

Panasonic launches six new BDXL-compatible DVRs, the media you’ll need to feed them
The BDXL format offers 100GB on a single-sided disc, and while that sounds great for archiving content, we’re a little leery about Hollywood adopting it to stuff even more deleted scenes on our discs. Why? Because no current Blu-ray players can read the things, and we can’t say we’re keen to buy another. We’re getting a...

Woot.com lines up $60 Blu-ray player, 4 for $10 Blu-ray disc sales
For tightfisted HD fans, Woot.com has a treat. Just a few minutes ago it posted two daily deals on Blu-ray, with the Magnavox NB500 player that we thought was a value at $128 two years ago on sale as a refurb for $59.99, and four “HD Over:” scenic Blu-ray discs for $9.99, plus $5 shipping on the discs or the player.

Coraline 3D
Coraline isn’t an obvious 3D tour-de-force. But as you become engrossed in the story, the 3D makes a progressively stronger impression. The 3D effects are subdued, but in a way, they are more effective in showing off 3D’s storytelling potential than the other animated 3D releases reviewed here. In fact, Coraline is so engrossing that its...

WD’s Elements Play media streamers bring internal HDDs at a presumably good price
Western Digital has quietly revealed the Elements Play on their site, which combines pared-down playback features of the WD TV series with up to 2TB of internal storage right out of the box. It’s about time, considering competitor LaCie has offered integrated drives in its LaCinema line for more than a year, though we wish WD would have...

Sounds & Vision reviews that DVP-CX777ES 400 Disc Blu-ray changer
Man would we love to even own 400 discs to load up into this changer, which would be worth many more pesos than the $1800 the Sony DVP-CX777ES will run ya — S&V evidently does have more CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray Discs than we do and found the Grace Note service did a decent job of delivering cover art and details of all the discs. The video...

As promised, Sony will begin rolling out updates for its latest A/V receivers to enable the latest 3D signals to pass through them.

If you happened to have picked one of these guys up...

It is no secret that we’re big fans of Vudu’s HDX streaming around here , in fact it is the only internet delivered HD we’ve ever enjoyed. At the same time we’re not big fans of Wal-Mart because no matter how cheap the prices, we’ve had a number of issues with the level of service. So we’re not exactly sure...

Hulu’s subscription service might run $5 for access to select shows
There was a mini-internet revolt the last time NBC Universal’s TV chief started talking about ways to actually turn a profit from Hulu and the search for a balance continues. People familiar with the matter — our favorite source by the way — told the LA Times that the search in question could take another six months before official...
