On the The Register ... I wonder if these are going to end up in the new 'slimline' boxes?

The FS454 also provides Macrovision 7.1 DVD anti-copy protection technology in the encoder for all TV outputs

Would this mean that you will no longer be able to record the output of a game? No longer able to capture it and make fragfest movies?

Either way I doubt it will reduce the price though...

Anybody want a macrovision decoder, xbox2 compatable?

I wonder if those will pop up then, or perhaps if there will be a hackable link to disable it.

Ah what the heck, no point even thinking about xbox2 yet, GRIT hasn't even arrived.
