Well that was really interesting to hear. Nobody will give me back the minutes of life I wasted listening to this idiot, but at least we now know how misterxmedia's voice sounds..
Here's the catch about what it is all about: Beginning with 2012 ANY device with a blu-ray drive must have a) no more analogue video out and b) drm copy protection on hdmi out.
You can immediately see the problem: If you press the share button, your stream (which goes through hdmi-out) is copy protected. Of course there are easy ways to remove the protection, but how is your average reviewer able to know that? How is the console maker going to handle the problem? You can simply disable blu-ray movie output, hence you no longer are required to copy protect the hdmi out. Cool solution, but people who want to watch movies would be slightly pissed. So both console manufacturer are somehow in a Catch-22 situation as far as drm issues are concerned...
