While I love the idea of being able to obtain service from different providers (Sony PS3, MS Xbox, Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, etc) -- I simply hate the fact that they all have their own proprietary DRM which makes transferring content all but impossible.

What if I want to ditch the PS3 and go to Amazon or vice versa? I would have to rebuy all my movies which sucks. I'd rather buy a DVD or Blueray and at least I own it and can (try) to rip it into whatever format pleases me the most.
This is about RENTALS not buying.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20805994 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 12:32:09 EDT Re: Format wars all over again http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20805533 socrplyr : In a way there is no DRM (not really true) but this service is streaming video. You don't get a file, period. So really you don't have to worry about DRM, because it isn't transferable in the first place. Hopefully this means it should be relatively cheap as it is always like a rental. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20805533 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:18:01 EDT Format wars all over again http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20805399 PhoenixDown : While I love the idea of being able to obtain service from different providers (Sony PS3, MS Xbox, Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, etc) -- I simply hate the fact that they all have their own proprietary DRM which makes transferring content all but impossible.
