"...I did get a chance to speak with the President and CEO at LionsGate, Steve Beeks. And while Beeks seemed like he had solid command over the finer points of the movie industry, I was interested to see why his studio chose Blu-ray over the alternative. Expecting the canned answer like, "well we thought it was the superior format and I'm happy to say we were right," you could imagine my surprise when the very first reason he gave was Blu-ray's piracy controls.
For those of you who don't know, Blu-ray's piracy controls - largely based on AACS, BD+ and BD-ROM Mark - is easily the most stringent format to date and has only partially been circumvented to this point...
Of course, I had to find out more..."
Avoid overspending on NVIDIA's 40 series GPUs, and purchase the powerful PNY GeForce RTX 3080 10GB Graphics Card at its lowest price ever!

Im old school... when i hear the term SLI, I immediately think of 3dfx. I still have a pair of 12mb Monster V2's in an old rig. I never tried out the more modern take on SLI or Crossfire for that matter.
I mean, it was mostly for bragging rights. It was a very temperamental tech that improved with newer iterations, for sure. But folks like myself, who have used it, probably recall that troubleshooting was an integral part of the experience and the value that you got out of the setup was really low.
However, none of that mattered because it looked sick as hell on a well-built PC.
I remember doing my research at the time 😂 I got 2 GTX 460's, as they in SLI were meant to be better than the 480 at the time. Not all games were optimised at the time, which meant some games meant setting them up for 1 card alone. Never forget the time I came home from night shift, turned on my computer like normal, went and made a cuppa, come back and it was still off. Tried to turn on again, and one of the 460's caught fire... good times.
If you're after a powerful midrange processor for your gaming rig, this AMD Ryzen CPU could be your best bet now that it's 35% off.
Sure its pretty tough to crack.........BUT it has already "partially been circumvented" NICE......YOU CANT STOP THE BUMRUSH!!!!
it's about the MMMMOOOOONNNNNNEEEEEEYYYYYYY man. Later when BD is totally hacked in China for use in the next versions of the "Vii" and the "Winner", they'll be laughing this article up on their way to the coffers with large money filled steamer trunks.
only a matter of time
Lol I hate Lionsgate film. But more studios joining the Blu-ray camp can't hurt.
come on.. don't even go there... it will be hacked... NOT even controlled environments like DRM could prevent people from copying stuff... talk all you want just don't bet your balls on it.
