Does it come with the latest software to watch blue ray movies?

Define latest? For Mac, it comes w/ no software. Blu ray software can be bought for $60 on app store. I rip my movies to play on roku or apple tv, so I don't use the player. For my windows, it comes w/ an OEM version that is 2 versions old....I didn't install it as I already had something newer. The drive works great w/ DVDFab. I'm very pleased with this drive and recommend.

It doesn't come with the latest software, but it does provide adequate software for Blu-ray and some other creative video editing. Have only used it a few times but seems to be flawless and worked fine with DVD and Blu-ray movies.

No, just Netflix and vudu. I would not buy this product again. It is slow to do anything and the firmware will not update.

It is an older model now but it has Vudu, CinemaNow and Netflix. I have Netflix and it works fine but sometimes it takes it's sweet time to connect.

For the most part. I had trouble with installing the Cyberlink software from the drive and ended up copying the install to the local drive to make it work. I can watch DVDs but not bluray discs as the cyperlink software that comes with the device does not support windows 8 and high def at the same time. They want me to upgrade. Not sure if it is worth it.

No. It doesn't... yet. Could be software update to support it later. It does have Netflix.

I don't know, we don't have a blue ray player. For a while they were giving a blue ray player away for free if you ordered from Amazon directly.

It is NOT the software. You must have a Video card that supports Blue-ray 3D for the player to display Blue Ray. Also you can not use a VGA connections. You must use HDMI or DVI-(I or D) connection to your monitor to get Blue-Ray playback. Hope that helps.......

The player I received only plays older blu-ray movies because the software that came with it was from 2007 and doesn't support current movies.

no mine doesn't even play blue ray but to return it cost half as much as buying it, don't buy it!

This blu-ray player is great, however it doens't come with the necessary software to play blu-ray video! I have reported that a while back, since I would have prefered ASUS to charge $20 or so more and actually bundle an OEM software, like most other vendors do. I ended up paying $50 or so for an upgrade copy of Power DVD Pro, which worked great with this unit. The full retail price if you don't have an older version is $80 on their website.

Yes, I can use it to watch DVD movie. But not the Blue-Ray disc movie. (need more research on this issue)

Yes, but it does not have software to decode blu-rays and dvds you buy from the store. You must purchase separate software for this, or if you are techy, you can find freeware to download for decoding, too.
