According to GearLog (via Dvorak) Sony previewed their new Blu-Ray VAIO at an event by showing what they claimed was the Blu-Ray version of House of Flying Daggers. The movie packaging even claimed to be Blu-Ray. The problem is, when PC Magazine's Lance Ulanoff opened the drive to get a look at the new Blu-Ray disk, it was just a plain DVD+R.
My first thought was echoed by a commenter: "Everybody talks about how sony were going to lick their games and other media content so that they could fight piracy. And here they are at an international media event displaying pirated content as legitimate. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk. Who's a naughty conglomerate?"
