Of course it’s easy to get around. Almost any lock is easy to get around, provided you have: 1: Any needed tools 2: A criminal mind.

FYI - Sunrocket has discontinued its operation.

this is a bad idea. it’s ridiculously easy to bypass finger print scanners.

I own both an HD DVD and a Blu-ray player. I must say that I am much happier with the HD DVD player! HD DVD gives me better quality, more features, more content and extras, connects to the internet for interactivity funcitions and is half the price of Blu-ray
