Do all Windows PCs ship with a CD? What about retrieving the user's data?

What if someone used a Debit Card?

The info I gave wasn't correct. I'm sorry about that. It seems that even with "BD Internet Connection" set to "Do not allow", my Avatar disc still accesses the internet and loads the extra content. I am not sure whether this is due to a recent firmware update, or some other reason. Removing the memory stick for results in a message saying "This feature requires Local Storage..." when loading it, so I would guess it's still trying to do something internet related possibly?

I know that the 2010 Sony's can turn BD Live feature off. Is there such a setting for your player? Or one can remove the USB memory stick used for BD Live - should the player not have onboard storage. Internet access is not mandatory for blu-ray players - one can disconnect.

Citation please?

Most Blu-Ray players will play DVDs also. So most Blu-Ray player owners do not need to replace any DVDs - let alone entire collections - unless they choose to. With most Blu-Ray players, one now has more choice of formats for future purchases.

Newer Blu-Ray players are much faster to load discs than they used to be. 12 seconds to load Dark Night and 23 seconds to load POC1 (Samsung BDC-5500) is pretty good in my opinion. I have a 2010 model Sony and it seems pretty quick to load discs - except when connected to the internet with BD Live enabled (can turn this off) and some disc wants to load extra features from the www. But on the whole, this player is pretty quick to load.

Huh? Install new DRM keys? To be fair, when a DVD player stops working - it too must be repaired or trashed.

Pfft! Man up and use an IBM 129.

I don't think the person was breaking into the router itself, but into the network. Just like how logging into a website is different to logging into the webserver that is hosting said website.
