No news still?
This story is now becoming a little upsetting....
Can Sony let us know what is happening? After 7 months i bought my Vaio i still cannot play BD!
Not a good experience, with Vaio. Good efforts from THalamus and forums cannot justify poor assistance from Sony and e-support. 
Laura....
I've been using my PS3 an awful lot since the software on my Vaio has stopped working... It's also a good excuse to have a little blast on GTA IV while I'm waiting for my wife to sort herself out and get on the sofa 
Sadly, no
Mind you though, I have never known Sony to rush anything so this is not unusual...
On a side note, I installed Vista SP1 on my notebook a few weeks ago and have had nothing but grief with software conpatibility. I signed up to the Orange internet everywhere service last week and have not been able to get the software to run so after some searching on the web it turns out the software has bugs and does not run properly with Vista SP1.
So the recommended fix was to re-build the laptop, which I have been doing for the last couple of days and now I can watch BD's again 
No idea what has changed here as all the same software is back on it but hey I'm not complaining. It is a bit of a drastic approach I grant you but if you desperately want to watch BD's and you haven't tried it yet then a rebuild could save the day.

So running the Vaio recovery utility seems to have solved your BD problem..

restoring the original system because the BD doesn't work means a lot of time waste, risk to losing important data and not being sure that, once reinstalled all the programs, the issues will not reappear again.
This was only a suggestion as Chanandler posted that after a recovery his Vaio successfully played Blu-Ray discs..
Ps. What about the update you announced a few weeks ago?
As far as we are aware it's still being tested by Sony, however Sony have stated that the current InterVideo WinDVD BD 8.0.8.425 should play the latest blu-ray releases..
If you want an official reply you can contact Sony Vaio support, you can do this either by phone or via e-Support, use the following link to find the contact details: Sony Vaio Support
Hi
I'm new posting on here but I thought I'd post this link I found via Google:
http://www.sony-asia.com/support/download/252792/productcategory/it%2Bpersonal%2Bcomputer?site=hp_en...
It links to Sony Singapore about an update for WinDVDBD entitled 8.0.9.301_4. It describes it as a fix for the problem people have been describing on here. Would this work on a UK/Europe machine if downloaded?
If this is the same patch we are getting in Europe, then why hasn't it been released yet here?
Just curious
(I wouldn't download it in case it screws up your machine! wait for somebody to confirm what it is first!)
