BUT u can watch a HD movie without the HD DVD player, all u need is the monitor. btw the dude was using his xbox usb hd dvd player, and u can buy one for under $200. also because the dvd is 25gb capacity it doesnt mean the movie has to be 25gb. blu-ray is 25gb or 50gb per disc capacity. anyway the guy did it because he didnt have some especial video card or adapter for his monitor in order to watch the movie so he got mad and crack the thing in 8days.
