Maybe, although I bet the content producers are probably going to push for downloadables and streaming instead.

Andy Regis University Library From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Susan Weber Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 4:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Videolib] Blu-Ray Folks: I've been off this list for more than a month, so here I am, back in the fold. As I'm sure some of you are aware, some films are being released only on Blu-Ray (BD). Our College doesn't currently own a Blu-Ray player, although it is on the purchase request list (1 or 2 machines, not converting all existing classrooms). Can someone tell me if BD will play in a computer, as opposed to having a Blu-Ray player?
