If I buy such product, linked above, is there going to be any software within the package, that can play blu-ray as a media player? Or is there none.

How do you watch Blu-ray on your PC?

 

[SkylerJacobs]

No, it will not come with software.

Money Money Money! They all cost money.

I use Cyberlink PowerDVD 14. (http/www.cyberlink.com/products/powerdvd-family/introduction_en_US.html)

There are many other options out there though.

Sony charge for the Blu-Ray codec so any 'free' software is most likely illegal or a virus. I have never found free Blu-Ray software that is legit.

It comes with Power2Go 8. May have a DVD media player (didn't bother trying a dvd before i bought software), but will not play Blu-ray.

Yes, Yes it does. Don't know where you are getting your information from. The "standard" version may not. But the PRO and ULTRA versions do.

Is this a one time buy like Windows is? Or is it like antivirus, 12 months?

 

[SkylerJacobs]

One time buy.
Note: From the looks of the PowerDVD Product page will need to get the Pro or Ultra version for Blu-ray.

Is that version legit? - The site is legit, but is the product? - Is that one the one to get?

I can see that it is the "12" and not "14" or "15" - Is that gonna make a different, when only using it for playing Blu-ray?

If going to buy the software. i suggest buying directly from Cyberlink Website. This way you will get the latest version, as well as any updates.

No reason to buy a 3 year old piece of software when a newer version is just $20-30 USD more, supports more features, and offers a better experience.

I'm going to save up to buy the software and blu-ray drive, the cheaper option was to buy a blu-ray player for a tv and connect to my pc monitor. But problems follow with that choice, gonna save up. Ty
