cdanteek Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 PC Magazine's Lance Ulanoff, attended a special Sony event and his inquisitive reporter fingers disclosed a weird and funny moment. The story goes that Sony celebrated a decade of VAIO innovation at a party in New York city. The true star of the event was a bleeding edge Blu-ray VAIO notebook PC (the AR) and a tiny "Micro PC," the VAIO UX. The 17-inch laptop not only sports a Blu-ray player, the drive can even burn Blu-ray discs—a true first....or was it? On one table Sony execs proudly displayed two ARs playing early Blu-ray content: The House of Flying Daggers. They even had the Blu-ray packaging. So exciting...but WAIT! I went ahead and ejected one of the Blu-ray drives to see my first Blu-ray disc. Instead, I found a crummy, old school DVD+R, complete with the Sharpie-written, House of Flying Daggers. Apparently even Sony can"t get its hands on Blu-ray content! This is rather embarrassing for Sony. But, what I would like to know is how they got that movie on to a recordable disc? As we all know it is against the law to rip movies that are encrypted!

d_deweywright Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Can't wait to hear Sony's rebuttal Easy enough to rebut since Sony owns the picture, they probably just took the original, unencrypted content to write the DVD.
