But...AnyDVD costs almost as much as a full blu-ray player software. Why not just buy the blu-ray software for $75 (like I first suggested above) and be done with it.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I will probably go ahead and buy one of the software packages sometime in the next couple of months.

Why would you do that? If you can buy AnyDVD and play BluRays in free software like VLC or MPC, then you're at the same place you are buying regular blu-ray software.

Nevermind the tons of other benefits AnyDVD gives you. Like not having to worry about HDCP, and full image rips, etc.

It's not illegal dude...someone made their own decoder, packed it as free and put it on the internet.

It's not illegal dude. Someone ripped the game, torrented it free, and let people download it.

See how that didn't make any sense?
