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 standard optical drive is a dvd/cd, it does not have blu ray support but you can install one that does. It will come with a battery and AC Adapter.

The drive would certainly fit but the Blu ray drive uses a SATA connector and this has a IDE connector. It is also USB 2.0 which would limit transfer rates to about 30MB/s plus/minus and probably be evident in playback.

You need the software to play the unit. The software does not work on my machine. I even had a IT guy come install and it still had error when trying to play Blu Ray.

No, this does not have a Blu Ray drive. I suppose you can put in one if you want. You can play most modern games on it though.

Yes. The PS3 plays PS3 Blu-Ray games, DVDs, PS1 Games, Blu-Ray movies, and CDs.

It doesn't play blu-ray discs, but you can get an external blu-ray player which uses a USB connection. There is one on sale at TigerDirect right now which should work for you. Here's the link, below. You may even be able to find better and/or less expensive ones with a bit of shopping around.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3170776&CatId;=3634

Hi,We hate to bring this up. This has nothing to do with the drive, but the software that converts it. The disc will burn on the drive for those files, but it is still the post production work you done on your computer for converting the files to digital.So, the questions is really about post production work of converting blu ray discs to digital. Yes, this drive can read blu ray discs. That is the simple part of the answer.

I suppose you arent being funny because there is a fairly good description on amazonIt plays blu ray discs besides DVDs and also media files stored on a USB drive such as mp3, mp4, wmv, avi & jpgs.

This drive does not come with the blu-ray software. You'll have to purchase the software to be able to watch them I recommend the PowerDVD 13 .

you do need a 3D blu ray player in order to play in 3D. As far as the other question I use Windows OS.

Does your blu ray player have the setting for the Audio Out set as Optical Cable. I know my PS3 Has the Video out as HDMI, and Audio Out as Optical. So Basically Same set up as you, but no HDMI from Home Theater to TV as I use my PS3 to play DVD's.

The drive itself uses a SATA connector, and shows up in Windows as a standard cd-rom drive. I didn't have to load any specific drivers, it uses the generic one supplied with Windows 7. It will probably be seen my Mac OS X, but I have no idea whether or not the OS or apps would let it read Blu-Ray content.

You will be able to run any install cd or dvd as it is plug and play. If you want to play blu-ray though, you will need to buy a separate player.

It does play Blu-ray Disc (BD). I always discard bundled software because they are all bloat/ads-ware offering what I don't want & need. Download no-charge VLC Media Player, and it plays BD movies great!Windows Media Player also plays BD movies, but I much more prefer VLC Media Player.

Yes, I use this to play Blu-Ray movies on it. I use software called Mac Blu-Ray player at this website: http://www.macblurayplayer.com/I'm sure there are other software for Mac to play Blu-Ray movies. I liked this drive better then the super DVD drive for the mac.
