But after months of fighting with it I am ready to give up. So if you want to try it ill trade you for a good skimmer!

The lock in thing will continue with these products until somebody decides on a standard for all of the download outlets to use. As bad as Apple's stuff can be I'd have to say my XBOX 360 is worse, it's way easier to put divx content on a disc and let the dvd player do it. One outlet will eventually get enough market share that new market players will have to design interoperable products.

If you are serious about the skimmer PM me, I have a G-2 I'd trade.
