Since SlySoft's beginnings in 2003, all Slysoft product licenses have been sold with free product lifetime updates included. While standards, technologies and SlySoft's product range have changed significantly since 2003, only now has Slysoft's free lifetime update policy been reviewed with respect to converting to an annual subscription fee format for new license purchases.
According to SlySoft CEO Giancarlo Bettini, this change is justified and will ensure first class products and future development: "Our portfolio already contains eight products, and there is another program in the pipeline. Each product is continuously being enhanced by first-class developers; each product gets 24/7 top-notch multilingual support. Our premises became a bit crowded in the last couple of years, and, to be honest, we may not have reached our limits yet. Something needs to be done in order to not only ensure Slysoft's continued commitment to excellence but to also promote future improvements: namely, growth and development. With respect to current financial challenges the current economy presents, modifying our update policy seems to be the only fair and reasonable step in lieu of a substantial price increase. Details are yet to be determined and will follow."

With Black Friday only a few days away, U.S. retailers have slashed the price of entry-level Blu-ray players in an attempt to bring shoppers into their stores. With these players being channeled to the Japanese and American markets, media research firm Screen Digest expects that affordable Blu-ray players will be in short supply in Europe this holiday season. Screen Digest also stated that this shortage, combined with the recession, will slow the adoption of Blu-ray in the European market.
"A shortage of cheaper Blu-ray players means that the sub-$300 machines that are already appearing on U.S. shelves are unlikely to materialize in Europe this Christmas," Screen Digest analyst Richard Cooper said in a report.
"Combined with the recession, this means the format is unlikely to move much beyond the early adopter market this year," he said.
