Hi,

We probably won't be supporting them for a long time, if we ever support
them, as they are crippled with DRM (AACS - Advanced Access Content
System), and so won't be usable with free software.

(By the way, if you buy now a complete system : AC, Screen and
Blue-Ray/HD-DVD player, it won't be able to play the discs that will be
published in the next years, as no graphic card currently supports the
mandatory HDCP video signal encryption system).
