The CyberLink PowerDVD software that is presently included with the drive can play back "BDAV format" Blu-ray Discs that were recorded with the BWU-100A, as well as traditional DVD video discs. An upgrade to the CyberLink PowerDVD software is required for playing back commercial Blu-ray Disc movies (also known as BD-ROMs) on a computer monitor or large screen HDTV using the BWU-100A drive. Additionally, hardware upgrades to the PC may also be required for BD-ROM playback. Beginning in October, Sony will provide purchasers of the BWU-100A Blu-ray Disc Rewritable drive with an upgrade to the CyberLink PowerDVD software which will provide BD-ROM playback compatibility. This upgrade, which has been previously unavailable, will be offered as an electronic download and will be free of charge. To get more information on system requirements or to download the upgrade, please visit: http://sony.storagesupport.com/BDupgrade/.
