I've been thinking about trying to install OSX on my entertainment PC, and then running XP in Fusion only to play Blu-Ray movies when I need to. I really don't see it as a problem, but can anyone confirm that XP in Fusion will not have a problem playing a Blu-Ray movie? It's a home built PC with parts which should work just fine.
Got a tip for us?

Hackintosh + Blu-Ray Drive + XP in Fusion, possible for BR movies?

I've been using PowerDVD. You would think they would come out with a program called PowerBR. 
It came with the BR player, and I haven't bothered to use anything else as it has worked perfectly.
Well thanks! I have a spare harddrive on stand by. Don't want to go through the hassle of partitioning and so fourth. I am almost ready to just jump in and start my very first OSX Entertainment setup. At least you have given me some hope in that it IS possible to play BR movies through Fusion.
My entertainment system specs:
2.4ghz C2D E4600
Nvidia 8600 GT
2gigs of ram
500gb harddrive.
Not a powerhouse, but all I built it for was to watch movies and go on the internet. I had Ubunto on it for a few months when I first built it last year, but then I installed the BR player and had to say baabye to Linux. I have Windows 7 on it, but XP still has a smaller footprint, and XP will only need to run in the background if SL decides to be friendly.
