Say Goodbye to Analog Ports on Blu-ray Players

I will defer to your guys opinions on this. While you have companies like ATI and Nvidia quickly (or already) dropping Component video from their graphics cards, there are still media players coming out with it. Are you sad to see it go or think it’s due time?

But that’s not the end of the story. After January 1, 2011, software manufacturers will be able to insert something called an Image Constraint Token into any Blu-ray disc. This bit of digital information will turn the high-definition component video output OFF the player(s). This is true today for Blu-ray players, but it does not currently apply to other high-definition sources, including satellite and cable boxes.
