Blu-ray DRM pwn3d!

As if poor Playstation 3 sales numbers weren't enough.... In more bad news for super corporation Sony, the Digital Rights Management software encoded into Blu-ray discs, Sony's next-gen DVD, was hacked by the same fellow, known as muslix64, that cracked open the DRM in competitor HD-DVD. The hits just keep on coming for the giant corporation.
In a personal note, Sony blows balls for how they've been behaving the last year or so. First it was the root-kit fiasco with CD's, then exploding Sony batteries in Dell laptops, then the fumbled PS3 launch and subsequent lack of demand for the overpriced grill. In summation Sony, screw off or make better product. Of course my rant is subject to change once Final Fantasy XIII comes out...
