Any at Auburn?
Buyer beware- Cinavia enabled.
And before you ask…. let me remind you that Google is your friend ;).My advice is go for a player that doesnt have Cinavia cripleware, but up to you.
If you dont backup your movies, you wont have an issue.
But at up to $30 a pop, I backup mine and put the originals away… just in case a single scratch makes it a $30 coaster.Cinavia prevents you from doing that.
I thought all Blu-ray Players are Cinavia enabled after Feb 1, 2012?
http://www.verance.com/AdminSavR/news/news_item.php?news_id=…Are there still any Blu-ray Players not Cinavia enabled?
I bought a Laser Bluray player from BigW a few weeks ago for $90 (yeah I know "Laser"… but 3yr replacement warranty was too tempting to not give it a go).
And you'll never guess whether it has Cinavia enabled ;).
You'd have to be Cinavia enabled beware on all modern blu-ray players because they'll all have them. Blu-ray players weren't designed as media player devices any how they only have one design purpose to play blu-ray discs so you're better off with a dedicated media player if you want to play your video file backups.
Although many Sony players connect to the Sony Entertainment Network and catch up tv etc, so they aren't just 1 trick ponies
Yep, almost impossible to avoid Cinavia through hardware selection.
I hope the cheaper brands like Soniq are "forgetting" to include it in their players.
My guess is that it'll be part of the blu-ray licensing to include Cinavia.
Lol. Mistakes like that are only human after all ;)
PS - as a serious aside though, part of the reason it's so hard to avoid is because many of the large hardware manufactures (like Sony) have vested interests in effective DRM because of their links with either the production and/or distribution of IP (eg: Sony Entertainment, iTunes, etc).
As others have mentioned, Cinavia protection must be implemented as part of Bluray licensing requirements, however this rule of being enabled after a certain date as I understand it can only apply to new chipsets/designs created.
Thus there is nothing stopping a company such a Laser or Soniq from buying older chipsets that do not support it and selling it.
Naturally over time these older designs will become phased out, by which point I expect cinavia protection to be defeated through a process that will detect, and mask the watermark without degrading audio quality.
For those curious as to which movies have Cinavia in them, here's a list:

As you'll see, most big names movie houses AREN'T supporting Cinavia…. yet.
Hopefully it stays that way, considering it's effectively been 'broken' already- but who knows.Anyway, just thought I'd mention it.
Was cheaper yesterday at HN with extra $5 off.
I pick this up yesterday from Costco Auburn hoping to watch stuff off USB HD. You guys have me worried It won't work. Haven't heard of this Cinavia stuff!! :(
So what can I watch off USB?I think this is a basic blu-ray player - specs http://www.sony.com.au/product/bdp-s1100
