Pact Not to Use Image Constraint Token Until 2010?

Devlin C. writes "Ars Technica reports that many major movie studios and several consumer electronics companies have an unofficial pact not to use the controversial Image Constraint Token in movies until at least 2010, presumably in an effort to spur early adoption. As the article at Ars notes, this would explain why both the low-end PS3 and the Xbox360 lack HDMI. The companies think it's not necessary to have right now, and they would rather shave costs than sell future-proof hardware."

You keep referring to the "tard-box" over and over again, but you insist it costs $600. Your bias is showing.

The so called "tard-box" costs $500. Get your facts straight. And I don't believe Sony ever once promised dual HDMI outputs.

That was the first picture they released with the outputs. They did remove one of the gigabit networking ports since it was a feature that few people seemed interested in. However, you claim they "lied" about their specs.

The only fabrication of facts I'm seeing is in your post.
