Wasn't sure to post here or in home theater thread section. I'm a PC user and wanting to have a bluray equipment set up so that I can watch 4k bluray movies. I am very poor so I can only spend so much. I am contemplating which way to go; standalone bluray player or get a bluray drive and software?
I hear horror stories from people that are not able to play bluray movies using a bluray drive and PowerDVD Ultra 17 on their PC. It doesn't appear to be version-specfic but rather problems with requiring software updates and causes system to not play bluray movies. There are a lot of people that have trouble with this and give up on the bluray nightmare.
I don't have internet at home cause I couldn't afford to pay due to job problems I had (or still having?)
There is a combo deal from Amazon, PowerDVD Ultra 17 (retail box) and a LG Bluray rewriter drive for $103. If I were to get these will I be able to play bluray movies right outta the box without the updates? I don't have internet.
Please advice.
Thank u
