They talked about this on the PokerCast with Barry G.  People are going to be able to go back and watch every other players play, up until that point.  They will be able to study the other persons play for the entire tourney until that point (if they are on a tv table of course).  That seems to be most of where the significant argument comes from.  See when they were bluffing, look for tells etc.   It really is good for the marketing guys to rake in a ton of money, but honestly I think it sucks.  I wouldnt want to wait if I made it that deep.  Though I did hear that they are going to pay everyone that makes the final table, the 9th place spot.  So the final 9 guys get 800,000 (whatever the 9th place gets paid), on the spot, so they will have that money to hold them over until the final table is played.  I guess it will be good if it brings more players into the sport but I still think it sucks overall.  Poker is turning into every other sport, being so commericialized.  This is probably why the buyin is still 10,000 - the same as it has been for 30 years.  Way back when, 10 grand was a ton of money.  That is why only the best came and the tourney didnt have 10,000 players.  I would be happy to see them raise the buyin to 30,000 and cut the field by a third...
