Blu-Ray's Worst Enemy – PS3?

Date February 19th, 2007 Comment No Comments

This isn’t so much a PlayStation 3 hack as it is a Linux operation. The process, as outlined by author “hacked2123,” involves decoding and ripping movies from Blu-ray (or HD-DVD) discs onto a Linux-based PC, and then re-encoding the files into an unencrypted MPEG format that could be played on the PC, or further tinkered [...]

HMV, PS3 Rip Off

Date February 6th, 2007 Comment No Comments

Now if you’v read my blog, you know I’m no fan of the PS3. That fact I live in the UK also means that, price-wise, I expect to be ripped off left, right and centre. So when I saw this, I thought that this must be about the epitomy of why we get pissed off. [...]
