Hi guys,
I don't want to start a new topic so I am going to ask here.
I've read these reviews http://www.reviewmaze.com/2011/01/windows-blu-ray-player-software.html and apparently there is not a free blu-ray player software right now but have someone tried Roxio's player? It seems the chepaest one from the 5 listed there and if it plays the movies ok, I could give it a try although it's not the best option.

They are cheaper. People love things that are cheaper. Also they just assume free Blu-ray playback software is available, just like DVD playback software.

This says it comes with Cyberlink PowerDVD. Is it worth keeping?
Also, is it free forever or a trial?
Thanks.

DVD playback is free
For blu ray I reccomend using Corel WinDVD, coupled with anydvdhd
its the standard 2 channel version .. its not a trial .. just doesnt have bells and whistles that teh more expensive ones have

I have one of these drives and the Cyberlink suite isn't a trial version.
(It comes on a Blu-ray disc though, not a DVD, so you won't be able to install it on another PC, unless that PC also has a BR drive). Cheers

Ah thanks for the responses.
What do you mean by bells and whistles? Does the standard version not get the best out of the picture or something?
