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."

Sony should can Blu-ray move playback completely in the crippled PS3 and knock another hundred bucks off the price and I'll be in there like a big dog.
