Thanks, I was pretty confused about what was and was not possible today, 
and I'd guess I'm not alone in this. I think I confused a previous post 
about BD+ disks with BR disks in general.

Any info from what I consider an authoritative source is very welcome, 
thanks again.

But of course what's possible and what's legal in the US may be very 
different things.

It seems that the easier it is to play a legally bought BR disk the more 
disks will be sold, but I guess logic and the MPAA are mutually 
exclusive.
