QuakeWars (ET) has just come to Linux (native even) and it's significantly
faster on Linux than it is on Vista (even without a Cell beast). There are
some other state-of-the-art games coming to Linux.
To say more about Blu-Ray, dumping copies of them onto the Linux partition has
been possible since the start, but they could not be decrypted at the time. I
think BR DRM was cracked a couple of months ago, so...
