That's a sore spot with me too Vergil. I wonder how it can be fair that stand alone Blu-ray players can play any new Blu-ray disk you throw at them, no matter how old, but our computer Blu-ray players are somehow crippled so that ONLY constant software updates keep them functioning.
For example my G73 Blu-ray player and software from Cyberlink worked fine for about two years, then only an "upgrade" would get it working again. It seems all of the Software vendors, Cyberlink -PowerDVD, Corel WinDVD and Roxio CinePlayer, have all found the lucrative idea of forcing bi-annual "upgrades" to continue playing modern Blu-ray titles.
I think there needs to be a class action suit for price-fixing and whatever other consumer protection laws this violates. :mad:
