First of all, I'm not a gamer. I bought a Playstation 3 because I was told if I was going to get a Blu-Ray Disc Player, Play Station 3 was the best. I put a Blu-Ray disc in and this is the message I get - TO PLAY THIS BD, YOU MUST RENEW THE ENCRYPTION KEY. PERSFORM A SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATE TO RENEW THE ENCRYPTION KEY. I am lost - I don't know what to do to play the Blu-Ray disc I put in the Play Station 3. I put another Blu-Ray disc in and it played immediately but when I put this one in, I get the above message. Please help me.
It's all about DRM(Digital Rights Management). Here's how Blu-ray works. A Blu-ray playback device, say, the PS3, only have temporary rights to play movies as their encryption key will expire after a certain period of time. The only way for you to keep playing the newest movies with your Blu-ray playback device is to update and keep up with the newest firmware.
You can check on this tutorial for this issue:
Is It Possible to Renew PS3 Encryption Key without Internet
You need to use wifi or cable to get your PS3 online and update the software to renew the latest AACS encryption key to play your Blu-ray disc. You can also choose to rip Blu-ray to MP4 for convenient playback of the movie on your PS3 with a USB drive.
