Frankly, high definition is amazing but with AACS handled and when BD+ finally gets dealt with I, personally, think the next new technology isn't far off. I can see the current HD & BD formats being abandoned for a newer money-making format that is more spectacular and has even newer more controlling protection mechanisms.

Maybe they'll require every device to have 100% internet connectivity where your name, address, birth date, etc all tied to the hardware. In essence anything played on the player would be monitored and anything considered a no-no would result in a cease and desist along with your player bricking itself. Remember the customer isn't always right... the Industry is.

The scary thing is I am being sarcastic but I can honestly see them doing it, too.
Anyway, I'll stop here.
