Yeah, more then likely, but try not to be such a wet blanket...Seriously doubt that, pretty sure they lack the proper authentication hardware.
I have now times written to the LG support and there you can not play a UHD disc with the drive (BH16NS55) in the HTPC since this only supports AACS v.1 but the drive properly as a player works AACS v.2 needed. Is this done as an update or are there any drives that can?
Let's see what I'll get as an answer
Already reported in this thread a couple of weeks agoHere we go.
The first UHD and AACS 2.0 - PC-Drive.
May some of use could provide some data as soon as this gets available.

EDIT:
... and less expensive. Nearly 400€ :/
We'll see how far James wants to go with this, if he decides to do all the upgrades and gets around AACS 2.0, then we won't really need to do anything.If the requirements are what they seem to be, nobody will buy PowerDVD to play UHD discs. Most will have to do a 100% hardware upgrade to play stupid discs....
