RE: [OT] Harry Potter DVD - Whats the deal ????

["Phillip Harris" <phil@xxxxxxx>]

I had one of the first A350s in the UK ... And the first Yamaha
DSP-A1's!

The A1 arrived by taxi from Yamaha directly as they had promised a first shipment date and had had delays so they let me have one of "their&quo= t;
supply as I had already paid for it ... My A350 was hacked and working
and I laughed like a drain when I read the line in the first HCC or
WTV&V review that said "Due to the tight integration of the chipse= ts in
this player it looks like it will be unhackable".

My modded A350 cost me nearly =A3900!
