I bought a Blu-Ray drive for my computer along with some movies. I couldn't watch anything because my display was not HDCP-capable. Going into the Nvidia control panel, I read "Your system is HDCP capable", next to a big green check sign... :banghead:

Using the drive with DVD worked well and fine for about two months until it started making the computer hang while making strange noises. Threw the (now) worthless thing out and put in my old trusted DVD+RW drive :toast:

A real-world story about the pitfalls of BD vs DVD.

I still have an HD-DVD set top player, use it all the time (for upscaling DVD's, lol).
