Blue ray drive

[dmgp1]

I just build my pc/media center and want a blue ray player to watch blue ray movies, what is a good blue ray drive and if it comes with the software even better.

Thanks in advance

What is a good blue ray drive and which paid software will let me watch movies on it?

1) Drives.
I've had Good luck with LG and Pioneer.
OEM versions normally do not come with Blu-ray player software (I have bought a couple that did). "Boxed version may, need to read the discription. When they do come with Softwar, it is normally an older version and may need patching - that is not to say the software will not work. Most common bundled software is Cyberlink.

2) Software.
I use both Cyberlink and Total Theathre - Look and Feel is differnt, But both work, so which ever you can find on sell.

Thank you, I see Cyberlink also has powerdvd17 ultra, Is there a big difference between powerdvd16 pro?

Fry's has powerdvd17 ultra for 49.99.
Already ordered the blue you suggested now I'm going to go get the software at Fry's.
