Why am I against it? Easy, it is all just a huge money scam. Developers say "Hey, lets create this new technology, call it 'cutting edge' and have three million tech heads buy it up within a few weeks....what could go wrong?" I think the new "EVD" idea is crazy. They are simply taking the same technology used for DVD's and plugging a small toy for people to use in with it. All that I forsee happening is, users all across the world are now getting over the region lock outs on DVDs, now they are going to have to go out and get a new player to support a new idea, not even in widespread use. I think that is crazy!
