Frankly they should have banned PC playback all together. It would cut down the piracy. Plus with the tiny screens, and the huge load on laptops, it's simply not worth it.

Managed playback versions, transfered to a media player or PC at DVD res through an ethernet/USB jack is the answer.

Craig Kornblau - "The people who have bought so far aren't early adopters, they are early, early adopters."

Classic stuff, from a different article I know, but hilarious nonetheless.

Say what? LMAO!
Who do you know with the upload bandwidth for BD piracy?
Tiny screen? Uhm, sitting here with this 17" 1920x1200 screen ~20" away from me, it is comparable to a 58-60" @ 8 feet away - without the distance tricking eyes into making up for imperfections(I get to see it all!).

Huge load? WTF? This laptop plays back BDs with ease!

NOTE: *THIS* laptop was designed around the Blu-ray drive. I can't say anything about other manufacturers, but this Sony plays Blu-rays perfectly!

EDIT: As a side note: Seeing as this is a mobile studio, and it came with BD software from the factory, and it was also designed to capture HD from a camcorder, edit it, and then author it... your posting about not being allowed for PC/laptop playback is squashed.
