check it out... players that can be 'upgraded' to not play disks using a certain encryption scheme, or a player you're forced to keep connected to the Internet. Nice. Is it just me, or do the media companies keep trying to make things harder and harder to *use*. And is a removal of capabilities truely an 'upgrade'? I don't think so.
