Won't play blu-ray movies!

Quote:
[Sony product manager] Bautista says that one of two reasons for this is the fact that commercial content is encrypted with [HDCP], which can only be decrypted using a HDCP-compliant graphics card that offers DVI or HDMI connections. Since there are currently no PCs for sale offering graphics chips that support HDCP, this isn't yet possible.

The second reason... is that BD playback software that can decrypt HDCP isn't "released as a saleable item yet". Today, the only HDCP-supporting BD playback application is the OEM version of Intervideo WinDVD BD that's bundled with Sony's VAIO VGN-AR18GP notebook. The AR18GP also offers an HDCP-compliant HDMI connector, which makes it capable of playing commercial movies without issue.


And it's 750 dollars. Haha.

I think Blu-Ray is going to do as well as the UMD movies.
