DVD and Bluray play is not free. This means that play may require a license fee to be paid.
Let's keep this short. It may not be a choice that Sony or other makers have here since the license fees have to be paid and let's move forward to the next question.
Why blu ray player are you willing to pay for? If none then not much can be done since there is no free player yet.

I have a 1 and a half year old Vaio with 32-bit Vista. I installed 32 bit Win 7 and discovered that i not longer can play Bluray Disks on it because the driver for the Nvidia GeForce 8400M GT is not compatible with Win7. I have installed "generic" Nvidia (but non-Sony sanctioned) drivers from several sites (using the modified .inf file)to no avail. I still cannot play BD movies. So "the one and only" source for an update to this driver is Sony and the say that they are no supporting this model (VGN-AR630E) for the Win7 transition.
How can Sony expect to continue being considered a premium brand with this horrible support and stupid policies?
I would have never expend all that $$$ had i knew that i have been left alone with a very expensive and unsupported product. But noy i know better.
