While we're on the subject and speeking of the Simpsons and their stupid head shaped DVD boxes... I noticed that 7 and 8 came in both the normal box and the head shaped box which I'm assuming is because of complaints they recieved about 6. Is there any chance in hell that they will release 6 in a normal box? I still haven't bough 6 because I'm hoping that it will happen but I'm not sure how long I should hold my breath. Oh, I went on amazon.co.uk and looked up season 6 and it looks like it's a regular box but I'm not sure. Anyone from the UK care to comment? If so they probably have the same amount of disks and such... Maybe it would be feasable to buy both and switch the disks. |

http://www.simpsonsbox.com/ You can get a replacement box for the 6th season from there. That's how I got mine. |

What I want is the same style case as all the rest of the seasons have with a book-like thing with multiple flaps and such. |

I'm not really concerned about the image constraint token, to be honest. Who the hell wants to intercept the analog outputs to record a movie? Macrovision was basically the same thing, but for DVDs and, seriously, who gave a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. The digital copy protection will be cracked in a year or two (certainly by the time blank media is affordable), and like DVDs, the cracked copy protection can't be fixed without rendering all the existing players useless. We'll copy BluRay/HD-DVD the same way we copy DVDs -- digitally, on our computers. ICT won't even matter. Frankly, I kind of doubt the ICT will ever be enabled. How long is it going to be before anything even approaching a majority of consumers have HD sets with HDMI inputs? There are hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of 1080i sets in homes today that only have component inputs for HD. By the time HDMI is ubiquitous enough to make switching on the ITC anything but a financial disaster we're going to be looking at 50 Mb/sec household internet connections and discs are going to be on their way to extinction. |

They can fix it by revoking keys, and since they are long keys (not like dvd's ones) they wont be trivial to crack. There are already hdmi defeating boxes out there, in the form of hdmi monitor splitters. Once again, those keys can be revoked by the players at some stage. But I really dont think it will matter. People only have to bust the key out of one really popular player and then its all wide open. Noone would risk upsetting the millions of users of those players by blacklisting the key, and when you look at the efforts that people go to just to crack pay tv with reading eeproms with electron microscopes etc, you can be sure that it will happen. |
