I want to buy a blu ray player for my PC, but looking at Newegg and Amazon, it seems the only model that has software bundled with the drive to actually be able to watch Blu Rays is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ab=true&Page=2
This model is from 2010, and the software is not up to date according to reviews. What would you recomend for a new purchase? This one, some other model I am overlooking that has software ready to go, or a cheaper OEM model and then buy the BD_ROM playback software seperately (and if so what software?)
I would prefer to buy from Newegg or Amazon if possible, but I dont see anything else their bundle-wise unless I am overlooking something. I don't even particularly care about BD-ROM burning capabilities, it just so happens that model I listed has it. I also want to be able to watch 3D BDs, so the software for any suggestions needs to do that.
My monitor is an Alienware Optx 24 inch model. I use Nvidia GPUS. I want to get a Nvidia 3D vision kit, but my monitor was built a few years ago and only officially supports NV 3D Vision 1....But reviews of NV3DV2 glasses say they are far more comfortable to wear. Am I right to think I can use the newer more comfortable Version two glasses with this monitor? (I know that my monitor doesn't support the "extra bright" feature of N3DV2, but am wondering if it will otherwise work just as good as N3D1 glasses would.
Thanks!
