Hi Chip. This one does not. It's an option one can choose when ordering direct.

Yes it will play Blu rays. The software with it is not a full suite but you can use Windows media player in Win 8.1 for music. I use a third party program for Blu rays as the one included did not allow for movie playback.

Assuming you have the ability to play blu-ray (i.e. a BR drive and appropriate software) yes, yes it does.

If you are asking if it plays the obsolete HD-DVD *format* that was briefly produced in 2006/07, the answer is no.However, all Blu-ray players will play *standard* DVD and upconvert them to simulated high definition.

Unfortunately there is no Blu-ray drive present with the console, so you will not be able to play Blu-ray movies with this particular console.

The unit does not include a DVD/Blu-ray player. But of course, you could play from external sources by connecting via HDMI cable.

I have two of them and they both play CDs and DVDs just fine . I would recommend updating the firmware to the most current one . You most likely though will have some issues playing some of the newer blu ray releases but otherwise it's a great player . Good luck

Yes. It will play CDs. Optical drives like this Samsung are ALL backward compatible to older disc formats. If it plays Bluray, it will play DVD and if it plays DVD, it will play CD.**Because they still build all Bluray (blue laser) optical drives with DVD/CD (red lasers) as well

Hello, thank you for your interest. The Super-Multi supports DVD Read/Write and CD Read/Write, but not Blu-ray.

It does, but all I have used are 3D blu ray movies. I just used a 3D capable LG blu ray player.

Yes, I have successfully played DVDs on this model. The user manual says it plays DVD-video, DVD-R, DVD-R DL in addition to Blu-ray. It also plays CDs, SD cards, and USB media.

Yes, blue-ray players also play dvds. I wouldn't have gotten a blue-ray player if it didn't.

Yes but it needed to get sent back to Samsung for a repair because out of the box it wouldn't track a non blu ray disc. After the service it performs well.

No, it does not play DVD or Blu-Ray movies, nor does it play audio CD's. It will only run Wii U and Wii software (including titles downloaded from eShop and virtual console).

Yes it will play both dvd and blu ray disc's but it can not burn blu ray disc's

I've tried the Blu-ray and it didn't work, so no it doesn't play blu-ray discs. It does play regular DVD's and I LOVE the quality of the playback; the screen quality is really good I think.

NO it does not play Blue Ray disks. It has a "DVD-SuperMulti Drive" that plays/records anything from CD-R's up to DVD+RW (Re-Write) disks. A laptop that would play Blue Ray's would say it has a BD-ROM optical drive.
