Just received word tonight from the folks over at www.HDFury.com of their new HDFury digital to analog converter with built-in HDCP stripper! A/V enthusiasts will LOVE this device, as it decrypts HDCP-encrypted images for use on non-HDCP compliant TVs.

Aside from the HD Fury features and specifications detailed below, the Team an exclusive HDFury PS3 Prototype Picture for those interested, and let us know production is underway with a target release date of May 1, 2007.

It's also important to NOTE that both the PS3 and HDFury (among other HDMI source/receivers) utilize an HDMI transmitter from Silicon Image, and although they state it's far superior to CP262 (and completely out of comparison with components) we're told the proof is coming- including full side-by-side comparision pictures and videos!

I'm missing the point of this add on,

It only works on devices with RGB Sockets/Devices.

So that means flat screens and PC's ,

Most PC screens in the last 2 years will output HD quality and most Flatscreens also HD but those that can't or only output HD Ready (720p and not Full HD 1080P) .

In the end this can't make a non-HD screen display HD, this will only upscale the picture (same as a $200.00 DVD player) thus
"looking like its" displaying the correct resolution making the picture quality better.

but it still won't be HD, you can't make a 720p screen display more pixels than it has. Their advertising is very misleading.

i have a tv that i bought before my HD that im using now.
the only thing is...if i waited 3 months...i would have got it in HD.
it only has the 3 component cable sockets which is the closest i can get to HD quality.
its a shame really coz i can hardly play on my HD coz my famliy use it to watch TV.
Anyway i can make my non-HD output 1080p?
it can output 1080i atm...

That's correct, however the image can still be improved via supersampling (if the hdfury does the 1080p -> 720p resampling internally and reports as a 1080p device to the console (or whatever you connected))
