Early releases had nothing to do with compression, other than MPEG2 was the pr oven standard and chosen to initially launch with. Codec support had nothing to do with it. Besides, was it mandatory that all encodes for HD-DVD must be VC-1?
Mandatory Ethernet? Um, does the standalone also pay for mandatory broadband costs?
Someone should tell him phone jacks != to ethernet jacks.
