Adding to SONY’s woes, apparently that hefty pricetag might not give you the ability to play commercial Blu-ray DVDs on your PS3. First-gen PS3s, if equipped with the BWU-100A, will suffer due to a problem arising from the inability to decrypt that tasty, tasty DRM that the mega-media conglomerates are using to keep you from using your media the way you want to.CNet reports from Australia on how “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.” Good luck trying to worm your way out of this one, SONY. Work faster, or you’re going to kill off the last of your fanboys.[Via Slashdot]
