I posted about the Passkey Giveaway some time ago.

Is that so much less of a gamble?

It's still a gamble but Passkey is owned by DVDFab which hasn't hinted at reneging on its lifetime licenses. When the AACS went after them, and affected their web address, they just moved to a Chinese domain.

Updated news, seems RedFox won't be offering LTL going forward.

Is there a decision made on the pricing of the products and which forms of license durations will be available?

[Ivan] No, this is still worked out. But we’re close. AnyDVD HD will be offered as a subscription, this is actually the only sensible business model, as there will always be new discs which need to be taken care of. The pricing isn’t ironed out yet, but a one year subscription will probably be 49,- EUR, a renewal 39,- EUR for the following year. Very simple and straightforward.

While I understand why the guys at Redfox would think that subscription is "the only sensible business model", I think they'll find it hard to compete with Passkey that offers a lifetime license at a bit over $100. That is, of course, provided that Passkey works as well as AnyDVD HD does.

That said, we'll have to see the final pricing decisions from Redfox. They have stated that they plan some kind of compensation for LTL customers. Probably not enough to make us jump for joy, though.

Well, I'm out on RedFox then @ $55/yr, that's just not worth it for what I need it for.

Yeah, same here. I'm just going to pop back in my 3rd BD-ROM drive and set the hardware region to B on that one.

I could probably be persuaded to pay $20 a year, but otherwise I can just live without it. I have plenty of region-free players here.

I considered that as well, but I'd have to spring for a new monitor also, as my current one is analog only.

It's actually less than that, there's a 25% off code taking it down to $79.20. But I'm going to wait and see when my trial ends what exactly the free lite version does.

I couldn't find a 25% discount for Passkey. I did find a 20% discount, but that's only good for another week.

Better yet, enter PASSKEY50 to get a 50% discount for PassKey for DVD & Blu-ray.
The Lifetime license costs $52.80.
